in this pocess was to establish a vision fo the fte

ears or more i te future. Te Cit Coucil adopted

te visio b a uaimous vote o november 8,

2006, ad tis Specic Pla is based o tat visio.Te Log Rage Visio Statemet is as follows:

The City’s last two community Attitude Surveys identied

Thousand Oaks Boulevard as the number one planning

priority for the City. Some say our “downtown” is

twenty to forty years behind many other communitiesof our size. Thus:

We need to recognize that Thousand Oaks

Boulevard has unique characteristics and

opportunities that warrant the adoption of separate

development policies that will lead to the creation

of a viable, self-sustainable, pedestrian safe and

friendly downtown core for our community. For the

rst time in the City’s history the property owners

are organized and committed to working with the

City to revitalize and beautify our City’s major street.

One of the rst steps was to form the Property Business

Improvement District (PBID). Thousand Oaks Boulevard

is already designated as the City’s major redevelopment

project area. It is now time for the creation of a “vision” for

Thousand Oaks Boulevard.

We need to support the creation of a plan that will clearly

illustrate the results of good planning, forward thinking, and long-term vision and focus. This plan shall implement the

vision of Thousand Oaks Boulevard and shall contain

visual information that not only depicts optional




ChAPTER 3

38

land uses and zoning; but, in addition, illustrates

building heights, building envelope, setbacks,

architectural character, landscaping, public

spaces, street furnishings, etc.

The following guidelines shall establish the long-

range vision for Thousand Oaks Boulevard and

will act to guide the planning process, including

City regulations and standards, for creating

a viable, self-sustaining, pedestrian safe and

friendly downtown core:

1. Give priority consideration to:

a. Improve Thousand Oaks Boulevard parking.

b. Provide more pedestrian crosswalks.

c. Encourage the creation of plazas, public art,

and open spaces that are linked to the public

sidewalk system.

d. Implement trafc calming devices and programs.

e. Maintain and/or provide left-turn access for

businesses on Thousand Oaks Boulevard.

f. Evaluate alternative modes of transportation.

2. Modify current regulations from rigid, limit-

based controls to incentive-based exible

controls so our City planners can draw on the

best ideas and examples available to them to

encourage property owners to partner with the

City Redevelopment Agency to help implement

the plan that is eventually developed.




VISIOn

39

3. Allow exible building heights at locations

where the height does not create negative

impacts to existing residential properties and

helps implement and articulate the long-termvision of Thousand Oaks Boulevard.

4. Change building setback requirements to

promote and encourage sensible street fronting

commercial activities.

a. Encourage parking lots in the rear portion of

properties where appropriate.

b. Encourage and support pedestrian activities adjacent

to the street.

5. In compliance with Measure E and state law,allow addition of residential uses on commercial

sites where good planning dictates.

6. In compliance with Measure E and state law,

allow higher density residential housing at certain

locations along Thousand Oaks Boulevard as a

bonus or incentive to encourage close-in housing

for all levels of income with incentives for low to

moderate income with a priority for City employees,

teachers, police ofcers, service sector workers,

nurses, health care workers, etc. This will reduce

commuter trafc on our freeways and thus reduce

pollution and congestion.

7. Facilitate and provide an expedited process for the

consolidation of properties along Thousand Oaks Boulevard.

There are now many small properties that are difcult or

economically impossible to effectively plan.




ChAPTER 3

40

8. Encourage and support coordinated

developments along Thousand Oaks Boulevard

where appropriate. The City’s Redevelopment

Agency should use its capabilities to help make

changes and improvements to Thousand OaksBoulevard in coordination with the Thousand

Oaks Boulevard Association.

9. Establish a streamlined permit process for

properties within the Thousand Oaks Boulevard

Redevelopment project area.

10. Encourage nighttime uses.

11. Encourage outdoor eating and minimize, or

signicantly reduce, parking requirements for

this type of activity. (See 12 below).

12. Create shared public parking lots, structures,

or other creative parking alternatives that can be

used by other properties.

a. Provide for temporary reduction of parking

requirements for certain uses.

b. Utilize portions of public streets for the

creation of diagonal on-street parking where

appropriate.

c. Require property owners to contribute

to a parking fund in return for lower parking requirements, including potential use of “in-lieu”

fees.




VISIOn

41

d. Encourage shared parking agreements and/

or City parking lots/reciprocal easements.

13. Promote and support the planning and implementation of community events along

Thousand Oaks Boulevard.

14. Give property owners, through their

Association, advanced notication of proposed

changes to City ordinances and public

infrastructure, and invite a greater degree

of participation in the drafting and planning

of projects and policies for Thousand Oaks

Boulevard.

15. Have the Thousand Oaks Boulevard

Association manage and promote Thousand

Oaks Boulevard’s street banners so the program

can be used to support and promote Thousand

Oaks Boulevard businesses and events and add

vibrancy to the City’s main street.

Before we proceed with the creation of a specic

Thousand Oaks Boulevard Plan, we encourage the

Thousand Oaks City Council to formally adopt these

guidelines for creating a vision for Thousand OaksBoulevard. This new vision for a viable, self-

sustaining, pedestrian safe and friendly downtown

core will provide City staff, in coordination with

the Thousand Oaks Boulevard Association, with

a framework with which to develop and then

implement long range plans and vision.

1. VEhICLE CIRCULATIOn

Several improvemets ca be made to te eistig

The Thosand Oaks Bolevad coido centlhas concete sidewalks on both sides of the steet.

Sidewal widt varies trougout te corridor;

owever te eistig Zoig Ordiace requires

a miimum te-foot sidewal. Wider sidewals

create a more pedestria-friedl eviromet. Te

a additioal miimum 5-foot sidewal easemet

adjacet to te eistig 10-foot sidewal, for a total

miimum 15-foot sidewal for te etire legt of te Boulevard witi te Specic Pla area, ecept

I additio to te regular sidewals, te sidewal

bulbouts icluded i te Eaced Pedestria nodes

will povide additional pedestian space along the

Boulevard. Te Eaced Pedestria nodes will be

placed at selected intesections and will edce thecossing distance fo the pedestian. The change

for pedestrias. Te Eaced Pedestria nodes

will also iclude additioal pedestria ameities,
