Agenda Item
2. 21-431 Action on the El Camino Real Specific Plan, General Plan Amendment for the creation of four new General Plan land use designations, creation of the El Camino Real Zoning Districts, and an Environmental Impact Report and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
I request that the planning commissioner recommend that the city council adopt the El Camino Real Specific Plan for the following reasons:
* It will transform El Camino from a road across the city to a destination for shopping, eating, and enjoying public spaces.
* It will encourage residents of Santa Clara and nearby communities to spend time and money at establishments in the Specific Plan area.
* It will make El Camino Real safery by including protected bike lanes.
