Re: Adelante Townhomes. As a resident of Bird Rock I am disheartened to hear that one of the prime commercial corners in Bird Rock is proposed to deviate from the established PDO Zone requirements to include retail or service oriented businesses. The “spot zoning” requested by this development break the PDO and has no precedence in the core of Birdrock. The argument of excess retail/service space and the attachments to the presentation package of the current retail vacancy is misleading at best, overdramatizing and not getting the back story on many of the ownership entities that either have plans to reopen like the “All About Animals” space or “Station Sushi” that is in rehab now. Some space can be considered obsolete with disinterested owners unwilling to improve; they lose money, that is too bad.
There should not be any correlation to the project being reviewed. New properly designed retail and service space will lease quickly as the “Pedego” and “Be Seen” proved. Modern attractive retail/service space will encourage walkability and commerce. It will also encourage current owners to see the value in improving their assets. Envision a highly used corner and tenant similar to Starbucks or Pedego. Those developments played within the current rules, Adelante should also.
