ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS AND LINKS TO THE 2010 PRE-APPLICATION ARE BELOW (FOR HISTORY OF PROJECT ONLY)
- November 9, 2010 San Stino Pre-Application PA10-0016/San Stino Conceptual Review (click here): A 57 page document showing the 1300+ high density residential and commercial units planned for what is NOW 645 acres of oak woodland R-5 zoned land. It will need a General Plan amendment to go forward. Since it is in a community region, it is slated for a green light if the developers go forward.

SAN STINO IS A SMART GROWTH DEVELOPMENT WITH THESE POLICIES:
“Compact, livable urban neighborhoods attract more people and business. Creating such neighborhoods is a critical element of reducing urban sprawl and protecting the climate. Such a tactic includes adopting redevelopment strategies and zoning policies that channel housing and job growth into urban centers and neighborhood business districts, to create compact, walkable, and bike- and transit-friendly hubs. This sometimes requires local governmental bodies to implement code changes that allow increased height and density downtown and regulations that not only eliminate minimum parking requirements for new development but establish a maximum number of allowed spaces.” -Wiki
