Spring Heights II: general plan amendment, rezone and development agreement, 2300 N. Redwood Road (Ordinance 26-46)
Approved with conditions · 4-0
The council approved the Spring Heights II general plan amendment, rezone and development agreement at about 2300 N. Redwood Road with the findings and conditions in the staff report, according to draft minutes. St. John Properties proposes a combination of office, retail and flex buildings. Senior Planner Austin Roy said the uses are already allowed at Spring Heights I, and that the development agreement calls for burying overhead power lines along Redwood Road, piping and burying the canal and installing a trail along the western frontage. The applicant said the flex buildings would be 24 feet tall and built after excavating about 15 feet below existing grade. Councilmember Taylor noted the zone allows 40 feet and raised noise from possible light manufacturing; the development agreement does not address height. Councilmember Davenport noted the change cuts the maximum height from 75 feet under Business Park and adds setbacks. The city recorder's Oct. 7 notice confirms Ordinance 26-46 was adopted Oct. 6.
