1200 Rossmoor Parkway General Plan and Rezone Project

The proposed project is for a General Plan amendment and Rezone to change the General Plan land use and zoning designation for a single property at 1200 Rossmoor Parkway in the City of Walnut Creek. The existing land use designation for the property is Office (OF) in the Walnut Creek General Plan, and the property is zoned Planned Development (PD) 1140 for Bank Use. The proposed project would change the General Plan designation to General Retail and establish a new PD zoning designation for the property that would allow a variety of uses, based on the allowed uses and development standards in the existing Community Commercial (CC) District with modifications to the allowed height and floor area ratio (FAR) and permitting requirements for a few uses. Specifically, the proposed PD would remove the conditional use permit (CUP) requirement for banks/savings/loans over 1,000 square feet, ground floor professional office, ground floor medical office, and standalone locally serving restaurants with take-out. The FAR would be increased from 0.3 allowed in the CC zone to a maximum FAR of 0.5 for Commercial and Mixed-Uses in the new PD. The development regulations would allow potential developments for buildings of two stories, with a maximum 35-foot height limit. No physical changes, construction, or development are proposed for the property, and the existing uses and conditions of the property (including operations and any existing buildings, structures, and improvements) would remain the same.
