Code Amendment (CA) 25-003 — Los Rios Specific Plan Amendment
Description
The owner of the River Street Ranch petting zoo property wants to add 14 uses and remove 3 from the list of allowed uses in the Los Rios Historic Commercial District. The council introduced the ordinance on first reading.
Impact summary
The district's 90% open-area rule means only about 347 square feet of new building area remains, so fears of a full marketplace expansion appear limited.
