16-2329 2PLANNING CASE P15-0947 (Applicant is requesting to withdraw their application): Proposal by Andrea Urbas of Cortel, on behalf of Verizon Wireless, to consider a Conditional Use Permit for a 35 foot high wireless telecommunications facility, disguised as a streetlight pole and related equipment within two separate segments of public right-of-ways, situated on the east and west sides of Chicago Avenue and south of Le Conte Avenue, adjacent to property zoned R-1-8500 – Single Family Residential in Ward 3. The Planning Division of the Community & Economic Development Department has determined that this project falls under the New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures Class, pursuant to Section 15303 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, and is therefore categorically exempt from further environmental review.

16-2333 3Planning Case P16-0124: A proposal by the City of Riverside to amend the Downtown Specific Plan to 1) allow for increases to the maximum building heights within the Raincross, Justice Center, and Prospect Place Office Districts when outside the Mission Inn Historic District, subject to a conditional use permit; and 2) make the definition for “Floor Area Ratio” consistent with the City’s Zoning Code, which excludes parking areas from the Floor Area Ratio calculation. Other changes will also be considered that are minor in context, and are generally necessary for technical reasons or clarification. The proposed amendment to the Downtown Specific Plan will not alter the Specific Plan’s current maximum permitted Floor Area Ratios (FAR), which limits development intensity; and no development or ground disturbance is proposed in conjunction with this proposed Specific Plan Amendment. The Planning Division of the Community and Economic Development Department recommends that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council adoption of an Addendum to the Program Environmental Impact R Video Video
