Title
Review Mission Village Project Modifications
EndRECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That the Council Economic Development Committee reviews the report and provides feedback regarding a proposed modification to the Mission Village Project.
End
SUMMARY
The Mission Village project, consisting of 72 townhomes and 8,000 sq. ft. of commercial space, was approved by the Planning Commission in January 20171. As part of a recently granted two-year extension needed due to environmental issues, staff imposed new conditions of approval to address timely demolition of the existing buildings on the site and to ensure the commercial component of the project is developed simultaneously with the residential component.
Despite the physical and economic impacts of COVID, Valley Oak Partners (the Developer) has been working diligently to find tenants for the commercial component of this project. They have a potential tenant, Starbucks, for a portion of the commercial building, which envisioned three such tenants. This potential tenant has indicated the need for a drive-thru, which was not planned for this building as part of the original approvals. COVID has made the presence of drive-thrus extremely important to a business' success, as there have been, and will continue to be, limitations on in-person dining. The Developer will present their concept for the drive-thru at the November 2nd CEDC meeting and seek feedback to inform their decision-making process.
