An application has been submitted for a Site Development Plan (SDP25-0004) and an Administrative Amendment to the University District Specific Plan (AASP25-0002) to allow the construction of a mixed-use development with open spaces and paseos provided through the site. The project includes a 14,000-square-foot grocery store, a 9,500-square-foot retail/restaurant building, a four-story 77,500-square-foot mixed-use building with ground-floor commercial space and office use above, a 1,000-square-foot commercial pavilion, and the expansion and complete redevelopment of the existing Hampton Inn to increase its capacity to 122 guest rooms and include new amenity and common spaces. Parking will be provided through an approximately 22,000-square-foot below-grade parking structure and additional surface parking spaces to accommodate all uses and amenities. The Administrative Amendment (AASP25-0002) is being requested to allow flexibility by permitting one-story structures where multi-story buildings are typically required, and to include roadway section updates for E. Carmel Street and Twin Oaks Valley Road. These updates aim to support higher-quality pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, clarify parking requirements, and address other minor revisions and cleanup items.
