Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

I am Jamie Peltier, Director of the Regional Development Department. This case is a specific plan for River Park, which will be approved by the City Planning Committee on September 3, 2026. This request is a modification of a certain River Park plan, and the plan of using the 2nd land of the earth in the River Park specific plan is to be changed from a public facility site to a commercial area site. The facilities are currently empty and are not currently under development. This project has also completed a brochure for the final impact report. under the California Environmental Quality Act. The project is located near River Park Road and Vineyard Avenue, which is close to Highway 101. River Park's designated planning area is in the north, with a size of about 700 acres. For the surrounding area, there are commercial facilities with residential areas and drive-throughs mixed with single homes and duplexes. There are facilities located just west of the site. This is a background explanation of the specific plans for River Park. This plan was adopted in 2002, and after several years of revision, it allowed about 4,000 square meters and 1.5 million square feet of commercial space. The 2nd target area of the planned area was originally approved as a commercial area, but was changed to a public facility site in 2012. The adjacent real estate is designated as a commercial area, and it contains McDonald's, Krispy Kreme Donuts, and WSS shoes. Oxnard has a new signage within the planned area. One of the signs has already been authorized to install a digital advertising board at high speed, but it has not been built yet. The largest shareholder among the three is in the middle of a trade deal with Dynamic Real Estate Partners LLC for commercial development. The city signed a single-point negotiation contract approved at the March 3rd demonstration in March 2026. The negotiation is still underway. This sub-district is currently designated as a general plan commercial area. General plans are not subject to change when it comes to land use. Sub-districts are divided into public facilities and commercial areas. The limited change is to delete the public facility designation and include the entire planned area in the commercial area. In the River Park specific plan, there is a list of the total area of each planned area and the maximum permissible area within the given area. Planned Land 2 will modify specific plans to exclude public facilities and include the appropriate land area as a commercial area. The permitting area will be modified by reflecting the areas that have not been changed in the previous modification. Therefore, the permittance area of 110,000 sq. ft. is the account to modify the error in the previous modification. In addition, there is also information about the permittance for certain plans. The permittance within the planned area is for local commercial facilities and public facilities. Due to this regulation, public facilities are completely excluded, and the permission for local commercial facilities remains as it is listed on the screen without any changes. The project has undergone an environmental review. Article 16 of the Final Environmental Inflation Report No. 00-03 was written to evaluate the potential environmental impact according to California Environmental Quality Act . As a result of analysis, it was confirmed that the project did not cause a new or more serious impact than identified in the Final Environmental Inflation Report No. 00-03. Therefore, the department of management recommends that the planning committee correct the specific plan of River Park and approve plan 16 for the public number 03 of the final environmental impact report and area setting permit No. 26630 to No. 01. This concludes the presentation of the department of management.
