RODEO DOWNTOWN WATERFRONT GPA TEXT
County File #GP 95-0006
Modify the General Plan text relating to Old Rodeo as currently shown on page 3-71 on the adopted
Contra Costa County General Plan 1995-2010. The adopted text is as follows:
3-182. The policies set forth below are intended to guide the revitalization of Old Rodeo.
(a) A mixture of land uses, residential (particularly townhouse) and commercial, must be
established;
(b) A community parking plan must be devised and implemented to provide a sensible framework
for development in Old Rodeo,including a parking plan for Lone Tree Point Park;
(c) When on-site parking is provided„it should be established at the rear of commercial properties
so that a unified commercial frontage is presented to the sidewalk;
(d) Rezone the Rodeo Waterfront/Downtown Specific Plan area to P-1 in order to efficiently
provide for necessary flexibility in development standards.
(e) Lwkiseaped courtyards, atriums and streetside plantings should be included in development
plans to provide visual and physical relief from the hard surfaces of the urban landscape;
(f) Sitting places for resting, socializing or people watching should be incorporated into project
designs;
(g) Developers are encouraged to preserve and reuse Rodeo's architectural specimens (unless
financially infeasible due to seismic retrofit requirements, inadequate original construction,
etc.);
(h) Provide for integration of development in Old Rodeo with the waterfront area;
(i) Develop public facilities in Old Rodeo to serve as a community focal point;
6) Retain and increase opportunities for live/work space;
(k) Eliminate excessive roadway areas throughout Old Rodeo, and introduce landscaping and
safety features to remaining road system;
(1) Mixed Use - Downtown/Waterfront Rodeo. This mixed use area encourages the
revitalization of downtown Rodeo through efforts to concentrate commercial/office uses into
logical groupings and to provide for economic reuse of the area through the provision of
multiple family residential housing(primarily townhouses) structures.
The Rodeo Waterfront/Downtown Specific Plan will provide added detail to the
implementation of this mixed use area and provide for Design Guidelines for downtown
Rodeo.
