Current Land Use Breakdown

What We’ve Heard To Date • Residents generally like Calabasas the way it is. • Open space preservation and environmental protection are top priorities for the community. • Different areas of the City have different characteristics that residents wish to maintain. • “Infill” development is preferable to “greenfield” development.

Draft General Plan Key Themes • Environmental responsibility – preservation/enhancement of natural resources and living within the limits imposed by available resources • Community character – protection of Calabasas’ special character • Quality of life – maintaining an outstanding quality of life for Calabasas residents

Factors Creating the Need to Facilitate Some Land Use Changes • Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) housing allocations • Demand for shopping/retail services • Demand for jobs • Unmet demand for sports fields

RHNA Requirements Very Low (0 -50% MFI) Low (51 -80% MFI) Moderate (81 -120% MFI) Above Moderate (>120% MFI) 137 units 86 units 93 units 205 units Total 521 units

Shopping/Retail Demand Retail Category New Space Demanded by 2018 (square feet) GAFO + Building/Hardware 188, 513 Food (supermarkets/liquor) 53, 944 Eating and Drinking 49, 663 Services Space (10%)/ Allowance for Vacancy (5%) 46, 124 Total 338, 244 Source: TNDG, June 2007. Demand estimates assume that the City will capture 70% of projected demand.

Office Demand • Strong local demand for office space – High proportion of self-employed residents – Affluent, highly educated population – Base of jobs in information and professional services industries – Large proportion of residents with long commutes • Demand for 300 K – 400 K of office space by 2012

Sports Facility Demand • According to 2003 survey, 75% of residents believe more sports fields needed • To meet demand at buildout of the current General Plan (as identified in Parks and Recreation Master Plan), needs include: – 10 soccer fields – 1 baseball field – 1 softball field • Existing school sites can accommodate at least 4 additional soccer fields

Lands Considered for Land Use Designation Changes Lands under Consideration for Designation Changes Total City Acreage 260 8, 312 % of Total Acreage under Consideration for Designation Changes 3% Open Space Designated Acres under Consideration for Designation Changes 0

Land Use Breakdown with Changes under Consideration

HM Clustering • Purpose is to enhance clustering provisions to increase open space inventory • Allow owners to recognize property rights while: – Focusing allowed development in least sensitive areas of sites – Reducing required grading, visual, & biological impacts – Allowing the City to acquire additional lands for designation as permanent open space • Reduce minimum lot size – for example, from 10 acres to ½ acre • Require minimum open space set aside (9 acres per unit, for example)

Important Things to Remember • Projects already approved or in process cannot be reconsidered as part of the General Plan update. • The ideas presented are the result of GPAC, public, and City staff input to date. • Potential development estimates represent “maximum theoretical buildout” that is unlikely to ever occur. • Current General Plan designations could accommodate additional development as well. • No decisions have been made with respect to any policies or land use map changes.
