BACKGROUND
ZTA2019-0002 is being done in conjunction with an amendment to the Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan (SPA2019-0003) to include additional land uses that focus on entertainment, retail, eating and drinking establishments in the city's downtown area. The specific plan amendment is adding artisan marketplace and micro distillery as new land uses.
