7A Introduction

The purpose of the Environmental Conservation Element is to set forth goals and policiesfor protection of natural resources in theDowntown Specific Plan area Many of these

policies serve as mitigation measures for po

tentially significant impacts identified in theDowntown Specific Plan Environmental Im

pact Report EIR This chapter is dividedinto six sections Biological Resources Water

Quality Noise Air Quality Soii Contaminai

tion ana ocenic Resources

Biological Resources

Sensitive biological resources within the DSA

are located primarily along the Truelzee River

and its tributaries of Trout Creelz and DonnerCreele This Specific Plan addresses preserva

tion and enhancement of these biological re

sources through two strategiesProtection of existing resources from theimpacts of new developmentRestoration of existing degraded resources

through replanting of riparian vegetationremoval of debris andreestablishment ofan ecologically viable stream environment

The following existing General Plan policiesprovide direction on biological resource protection within the DSA

Conservation and Olen Space Policy 14Protect sensitive wildlife habitat from destruction and intrusion by incompatible land uses

Impacts to sensitive habitat shall be identifiedthrough the development review process andshall be mitigated through mandatory clustering project redesign to eliminate impactsuse ofnondisturbance easements or open

space zoning and other appropriate protection measures Offsite habitat restoration

may be considered as a mitigation option to

the extent that no net loss of habitat values re

sults Evaluation of wildlife impacts must talzeinto account habitat movement corridors in

the areas surrounding the project site in orderto comprehensively address project impacts

Conservatirnl and Open Space Policy17 Inthe Development Code establish a development setbaclz of 100 feet from each side of allblue line permanent and seasonal waterwaysas shocni on the USES maps exclusive ofthe Truelzee River which is covered by Specific Plan policies The Development Code

and stream ecology and scenic resource values Appropriate setbaclzs from the channelized portion of Trout Creelz will bedetermined

2 Any modification of the natural channel or

streambed of the Truclzee River for flood con

trol or banlz stabilization purposes shall bedone in a manner that retains and protectsthe ecological value of the waterway and riparian area Concrete channelization of theTruclzee River and any of its tributaries shallbe prohibited

3 Riparian vegetation along the TruclzeeRiver and its tributaries shall be protected to

realize benefits of erosion prevention stream

shade for fisheries and protection of wildlifehabitat Prior to anv unavoidable removal ofriparian vegetation adjacent to the Truclzeediver or its tributaries the California Departrent of Fish and Game shall be consulted fora determirationof potential impacts and nec

essary mitigation measures

projects adjacent to the Truclzee River shallnot result in an increase in the rate of water

rtmoff and erosion Prior to Town approval ofpublic or private projects on parcels adjacentto the Truclzee River or its tributaries an ero

sion control and river banlz protection planshall be prepared for review and approval bythe Town Community Development Department and Lahontan Regional Water QualityControl Board RWQCB This plan shall include the site plan showing limits of grounddisturbance and vegetation removal erosion

7CWater QualityWater Quality within the DSA is regulated bythe RWQCB The RWCQB has establishederosion control guidelines for the TruclzeeRiver hydrologic unit in which the DSA is located The Lahontan RWQCB currently re

quires that any discretionary project must

comply with their erosion control guidelinesas a condition of approval These guidelinesinclude prohibitions on grading between October 15 and May 1 excluding single familyresidences and installation of Best Management Practices BMPs on the project site Because of the Lahontan Review process new

discretionary development meeting Lahontans standards will not result in adverse water

quality impacts Water quality problems resultprimarily from existing untreated discharges

The following General Plan policies are par

ticularly relevant to protection of water qualitv within the DSA

Conservation and Onen Space PolicvProtect surface and groundwater from con

tamination through runoff by implementingthe Regional Water Qualify Control BoardLahontan Regions Best Management Practices

Conservation and Oneu Snaee PoliceCooperate with state and local agencies in efforts to identify and eliminate all sources ofexisting and potential point and nonpointsources of pollution to ground and surface wa

ters including lealzing fuel tanlzs dischargesfrom storm drains auto dismantling anddump sites sanitary waste systems parizinglots roadways and logging and mining operations

Water Cluality Protection Policies

1 New private and public development in

cluding new parizing areas shall comply with

the Lahontan Erosion Control Guidelinesand BMPs

2 The Town shall woriz with responsible property owners and Lahontan to identify andremedy existing untreated discharges withinthe DSA to implement General Plan Conservation and Open Space Policy 63

7D Noise

The DSA is one of the most noise impactedareas in Truelzee due to its location nearI80and the railroad Given the amount of additional infili development proposed in noise im

acted areas mitigation of noise impacts is a

primary concern The following policies provide additional direction on acceptable noise

levels in mixeduse projects due to the mix ofland uses in the DSA Noise standards and re

view criteria are established by the TruclzeeGeneral Plan Noise Element Table 61 ofthe Truelzee General Plan sets forth standardsfor land use compatibility with noise

The following General Plan noise policies are

particularly relevant to projects within theDSA

Noise Policy 11 Require all new development projects to comply with standards identi

spealzer systems and other noise generating

uses to avoid adverse noise impacts to adjacent residential uses

4 Evidence o compliance with the above policies may be demonstrated through written

veriicationby a licensed architect or proessional noise specialist

7E Air QualityAir quality problems in Truclxee result primarily xom particulate matter created by woodburning and road dust Control and reductiono particulate levels are regional issues cur

rentlybeing addressed by General Plan policies and by preparation o an Air QualityManagement Plan The Air Quality Management Plan will contain particulate matter re

duction policies applicable to the DSA

7F Soil Contamination

Soil contamination on properties within theDSA is alongstanding problem currently cre

ating abarrier to new infill development and

property revitalization The majority oflzuown contaminated sites within the DSAare a result of underground and abovegroundstorage tame leaies or accidental spillage associ

ated with a variety of industrial uses The primacy pollutants are petroleumbased productssuch as diesel and heating oil

In the existing regulatory and legal environ

ment the current property owner is responsible for the cleanup of contaminated propertyeven if the contamination was there when the

property was purchased Instances have oc

curred in the DSA where contamination was

not identified until project construction was

underway resulting in project delays and in

some cases project abandonment It is not

uncommon for the costs of remediation to

outweigh the economic benefits of the projectfor the developer

8A Introduction

The Downtown Study Area embraces the historic heart and character of Truckee TheDowntown area is composed of several historic neighborhoods with a concentration ofhistoric buildings There are more than 125structures older than 60 years found in theDowntown area The Nevada County Boardof Supervisors conducted aIistoric Resources Inventory of eligible historic buildingsand structures in 1981 and subsequentlyadopted historic preservation developmentstandards and design guidelines regulating theappearance of new structures anti alterationsto esistind stntetures within an establishedFlistoric District

a i t

Strong nrstonc preservation poucies ana

standards are important and necessary for theeconomic Weilbeing of the Downtown area

Tire Vision Plan emphasizes that the plansunderpinning is in the common belief thatCommercial Row is the heart o Downtowmand preservation and enhancement of Commercial Row and its historic structures is eni

cial to the economic 2tality of the Downtownarea The other historic areas of the Downtoanr area are also important to its economic

vitality Properties with wellmaintained historic structures are least susceptible to

change Conversely properties whir poorly

maintained historic structures are most sus

ceptible to change which could result in demolition or removal of tare historic structure and

replacement with modern structures oruses

The factors working against proper mainte

nance and improvement of historic structures

are lack of technical assistance and financialincentives and programs to encourage financial investment in historic structures lack of

participation in Federal and State historicpreservation programs substantial growthpressure on underutilized lots for conversion

to commercial uses incompatible uses andstructures in close proximity and poor coordination with Union Pacific on uses of propertywithin the rail rightofway

8D Determination of HistoricResources

The cornerstone of any historic preservationplan is the identification of cultural and historic resources which will be safeguarded bythe plan To accomplish this the historic or

architectural significance of a structure must

be determined by the Town Council Howeverhistoric and architectural significance is a subjective judgment varying from area to area

based on the unique history and characteristics of the area Criteria for determiningwhether a structure is historically or architec

n rtusany signincant must be established before a

5urvev is conaucted so that all structures are

veriewed arororororiately by the Tonne Councili i i

ana aavisorv boaies

The age of a structure by itself is not a reliable way to determine whether a structure is

1istorically or architecturally significant Anoid structure may not be historically significant if it is not associated with a person or

went which significantly contributes to theTownshistory The structure also may not bearchitecturally significant if it does not represent or embody distinctive characteristics ofan architectural type period or method ofconstruction which are unique Conversely a

structure which is not old compared to otherstructures in the area may be considered his

toxically significant i an important historicalevent or person is associated with the struc

ture or maybe considered architecturally significant if it is a distinctive architectural typeperiod or method of construction unique to

the Town region or State Many other factors must be talzen into consideration to determine whether a structure is historically or

architecturally significant

Historic Resource Determination policies

1 For all actions determining the historic or

architectural significance of a resource thefollowing criteria will be aroplied Additionalcriteria maybe considered in review of the ac

tion

a The age of t17e resource

b The uniqueness of the resource

c Its association to events or persons thathave made a significant contribution to thehistory of Trucleee

8E Design Review

Design guidelines are effective when they provide clear direction and encompass all designissues Design guidelines have been in electin Downtown Truclzee since 1982 but deficiencies have been identified in these current

guidelines as a result of ambiguous wordinginsufficient detail or design issues not beingaddressed These guidelines maybe used as a

basis for the Specific Plans design guidelinesbut they need to be expanded considerably in

both detail and content to be effective Alsothe historic preservation district must be es

tablished to encompass all areas needing pro

tection The policies below including thedesign policies of this element identify the design issues to be addressed by the guidelines

Design Policies General

8 Corporate franchise businesses can bedesigned in such a manner to respect the historic identity of the Downtown area This is

demonstrated by a multitude of examples ofcorporate franchises located in historic com

munities throughout the United States andCalifornia designed tobe congruous with thehistoric character of these communities Thehistoric design guidelines will specifically address corporate franchise businesses such as

McDonalds restaurants and 711 conven

ience stores site development building design and sign issues associated with thesebusinesses The design of such businesses willconform to the historic design standards andguidelines

Z0 The historic design guidelines will beuserfriendly and easy to interpret for effectiveuse by the public in designing projects These

guidelines will have definitions and illustrations which clearly present design qualities en

couraged bythe guidelines

11 The distinctive architectural types andfeatures of each historic neighborhood will betaleen into consideration Specific guidelineswill be developed for each historic neighborhood where appropriate including development within the railroad rightofway

12 A master design plan wdl be required as

part of the master site plan for the Old Millsite This design plan will be reviewed byHPAC for consistency with Specific Planpolicies and compatibility of design with theHistoric District

Design PoliciesHistoric Resources

14 The design guidelines for historic re

sources will be based on the requirements ofthe Secretary of the InteriorsStandards forRehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings The design guidelinesshould be consistent with and meet these re

quirements but reflect the individual characteristics and needs of Ti2icleee

1 Alterations to historic resources will respect the original period and style of the building Restoration of original elements of thehistoric resource will be based on solid historical documentation such as photographs or

original drawings to the extent possible

Design PoliciesNew Buildings and structures

16 Because building uses and characteristicsvary substantially between building types sepa

rate guidelines will be developed for singlefamily residences multifamily residencesstructures commercial structures industrialstructures institutional structures and utilitystructures

ovtiEomiiluck5infi1Pla ChapEcr c Page 14D

17 The design of new buildings and struc

18 The historic design guidelines will include provisions for uses and structures associ

ated with site development not covered byguidelines for buildings and structures Suchuses and structures include parizing areas

landscaping fences and walls trash enclosures and retaining walls

19 The historic design guidelines will includestandards for appropriate lighting to ensure

that all exterior lighting is compatible withthe goals of theIistorie District

20 The historic design guidelines will includestandards for appropriate sign size colors anddesign to ensure that new signage is compatible with the goals of theIistoric District andto ensure that existing nonconforming signsare phased out overtime

Design PoliciesPublic Improvements

21 The design Guidelinesrill identify anddiscuss pubiic improvements which may be lo

cated in the Downtown area Examples ofsneh imnrovernents are transit stops traffic

isignals ano boxes punne parizing areas andutility poles and boxes Innovative designtechniques will be encouraged for such im

provements to incorporate historic architectural features and to minimize theincompatibility of improvements with the historic character of the Downtown area Im

provements identified in this plan such as

streetfurniture and park improvements havebeen selected or designed to meet this criteria

22 Some improvements may be tinder thejurisdiction and control of other agenciessuch as TruclzeeDonnerPUD and CalTrans

The intent of this element is that improvements under the jurisdiction and control of lo

cal agencies must comply with thepolicies ofthis element and all regulations and designguidelines adopted thereto unless compliancewith the policies regulations and guidelineswould not be feasible The Town will providetechnical assistance to the agencies to achieveconsistency with the Specific Plan and histonic design guidelines

8FBuilding Demolition

One of the most crucial components of historic preservation efforts is the protection ofhistoric buildings from unnecessary removalor demolition Retaining historic buildings is

essential in maintaining the historic characterof Downtown Truclzee Development standards and evaluation criteria are needed to en

courage preservation of historic buildings andidentify appropriate situations when historicbuildings may be removed or demolished Pro

cedural standards are also necessary to providethe Town interested organizations and prop

erty owners sufficient time to consider the eco

nomic feasibility of renovating andrehabilitating the structure and explore otheralternatives which may result in the preserva

tion of the structure

not usuauy requiring a building permit in

clude small signs doors and the painting of

buildings Unauthorized activities which can

not be easily remedied include demolition or

removal of historic resources and major alterations to structures These types of activi

enforcement mechanisms to forcefully deter il

legal activities which cannot be easily reme

died after their commencement Particularlyimportant are stringent fines for unauthorizedremoval of historic structures

2 Enforcement actions for historic resources

and design issues iri the Downtown area willbe given high priority by the Code Enforcement officer

8IAssistance Programs

Presently most of the burden on implementing the historic resource objectives of theTown is placed on the property or businessowner through a regulatory environment

Any exterior architectural woriz proposed by a

property or business owner must comply withthe historic design guidelines and the prop

erty or business owner must alter their plansto conform with these guidelines Some technicai assistance is provided by the Commu

nity Development Department staff andHPAC

In the past some Community DevelopmentBlocle Grant funds have been available to

qualifying persons and were used for rehabilitation and repair of historic resources But

for the most part the property or businessowner is responsible for costs associated with

complying with the guidelines This regulatory environment with no supporting financial and assistance programs creates

disincentives for the rehabilitation restora

tion repair and maintenance of historic re

sources and subsequently results in thedeterioration of these resources Also this en

vironment does not promote cooperative and

9A Introduction

Parizs are vital to the character and unctionof Doanitown Parks help promote the heritage of the community and will give the downtown astronger identity Downtown parizsshould serve as local points providing opportunities for recreation and accommodating com

munity celebrations and events

The Downtoani Study Asea currently basonly oue public open space a small poclzetpariz located adjacent to Trout Creelz Thereis a needto add a variety of open space set

tings to the Downtown Study Area Downtocmemployees need oven space for use on

tbeir lunch hour Such spaces are also neededor general a fiance specai events an

community celebrations Thev are esueeiallyneeded by the many Docnitowu visitors as a

place to rest rendezvous and plan sightseeingactivities

The Downtown Specific Plan incorporatesfour new parizs a linear pariz along the southside of the Truelee River a Toan1 Square paneacross from Commercial Row a pane publicplaza and outdoor ice slzating rink inside theballoon traclz on the Mill Site and an open

spacesnow play area on the old Hilltop slzibill Each of these pane proposals is describedbelow in Sections 1 through D Figure 1shows the locations of proposed parizs and

gateways Figures 92 through 96 depict con

ceptual designs for each of these pane areas

Vlore detailed design worn will be done to further reline these pariz plans A fifth area theexisting poclzet pariz at Trout Creel will be im

proved to provide shading landscaping andgeneral access

iateway treatments are proposed at the main

entrances to Downtown to create a sense of ar

rival and identity Design concepts for each ofthe Downtown Core iateways are shown in

9B Guiding Policies

The following policies guide establishment o

parizs and gateways within the DSA

1 The Truclzee Donner Recreation and ParizsDistrict is the entity responsible for establishment and maintenance of pariz facilities in

the Truclzee Area New parizs must be devel

oped in full coordination with this Districtsince they are the preferred entity for parizmaintenance and management

2 New paries should achieve the goals of pro

viding more public space in the CommercialCore increasing public access to the TruclzeePiver protecting historic areas and attractingpeople to new infill areas such as the iIill Site

3 Parizs should be named after important figures locations or events in Truclzees History

Although no conceptual design or guidelines leave been developed in this chapter forthe site of the old ice palace located at theend of South west River Street this site

should be identified as a historic resource beprotected as such and have interpretive

plaques or a iziosiz to identify its historic signilicance

9C Truclzee River Pariz

Truclzee has the unique and exciting opportunity to create a recreational area with bilze andhilzing trails on a State owned parcel alongthe south side of the Truclzee River downtown The intent behind this pariz is to maizethe Townsmost valuable natural asset theTruclzee River a focal point of the Downtown area Because the river was historicallyused as a waste dump development acedaway rom the river rather than towards it In

dustrial development which was consideredundesirable in other parts of Town was located primarily along the river Strict water

quality controls and laelz of channelization or

other Mood control development have allowedthe Truclzee river to flow in a relatively pristine condition today The Visual Preference

Survey results for the Downtown area show a

clear public mandate to increase the visibilityof and the public access to the Truclzee Rivercorridor The following pariz proposal is in

tended to achieve these above listed goals

Two portions of the proposed pariz area are

currently located on private property A 3

acre portion on the north side of the River

along West River Street and a acre por

tion on the south side of the River see figure91

Pruclzee River Pariz Policies

Coordinate with the State Department ofFish and Game private property owners andthe Truclzee Recreation and Parizs District to

develop the pariz on the State owned 3941acre parcel on the south side of the TruclzeeRiver

2 The Iunction of the pariz is to provide pas

sive recreation opportunities such as fishingboating picniclzind cross country slziing bicycling and wallzing Public restxooms water

minimum Native plant material shall be fea

tured in the landscape design including ever

green trees andformal plantings

5 The parizs design should emphasize its location adjacent to the railway edge The railroad theme should be rerected and enhancedin the parizs design and safety eatures suchas decorative fencing and lighting should beprorided along the railroad edge

C The nariz is located adjacent to the pro

posed pedestrian crossing which will provide a

controlled pedestrian and bicycle crossing over

re railroad traclzs The design landscapingand urnisfiings of the pane and the pedestrian crossing shall be coordinated to ensure

they complement one another

E Mill Site Pariz

parl2 area is proposed to be included in thehrture Mill Site Master Plan developmentThis pariz should accommodate an ice slzatinpriniz doubling as a shallow pond in the sum

irer and a pedestrian plaza adjacent to the

rinlz preferably bordered by mired use devel

9F Hilltop Parle

This pariz will be located on the old slzi hill at

Hilltop This pariz will primarily unction as

open space area and historic attraction as thesite of one of the first mechanical slzi lits in

the country In 1905 the Truclzee townspeo

ple acquired an old steam engine which was

transported by ox team rom an abandonedlumbermill to Truclzee and ashioned into a

pullbaelz lift located at the Hilltop slzi hillSome slei historians claim that this was thefirst mechanical lit of its hind in the UnitedStates The Hilltop area was a center owin

ter recreational activity such as slzi jumpingsledding and cross country sluing Today theHilltop area continues its tradition as a ocal

point of nordic sluing serving as the finisharea for the annual Great Slzi Race a 30 lzilometer cross country slzi race from Tahoe Cityto Truclzee The intent of the Hilltop Pariz is

to recognize the historic value o this area and

protect it for future generations

Hilltop Pariz Policies

1 A conceptual design or the pariz is showniiFigure 9lImportant elements are a snow

play area improved parizing at the base of the

hill a building or snaelzs sled rentals a picnic area with public restmoms and trails con

necting with the Truclzee River bilze trial andthe Ponderosa Palisades trail

2 The historic importance o the area shouldbe commemorated through displays andplaques near the base of the slzi hill The oldslzi lift should be refurbished and protectedfrom further deterioration

HGateways

There are four recognized gateways into

Dowutottm Truclzee These entry points needa distinct identity to define the boundaries ofDowntown and helps establish a positive im

age for the area As shown on Figure 91

these lour gateway entrances into Downtownare

From the northeast Highway 267SouthFrom the south Highway 267 NorthFrom the west West River StreetFrom the northwest Donner Pass Pcoad

There is currently no sense of arrival to Downtown created by these existing gateway areas

In fact at three of the gateways there are billboards that advertise attractions in other areas

Gateway Policies

i1 Develop an amortization program io e imi

nate existing billboards in the Downtown area

2 Implement gateway improvements basedon the conceptual gateway plans in Figures

through 9 Incorporate native lowmaintenance yet colorful landscaping in ac

cordance with appropriate landscape speciesidentified in adopted design standards

3 At each gateway incorporate a sculpturethat reflects an important component ofTrucleesHistory The following themes are

recommended

this gateway provides an opportunity to

showcase the railroad industry within its

center Views o this sculpture from alldirections including the railroad will beconsidered in its design see Figure 9Another possible option or placement in

the traiic circle is the Lincoln Memorial

Eagle It would need to be placed on a

stone base within the traic circle

Design competitions should be held to allow artists from the region the opportunity to

propose sculpture designs for each of the gatewav

10AIntroduction

This chapter summarizes the logistical aspectsof putting the Downtown Plan into action

Guiding the Downtown Ilan to completionwill talze time money and community com

mitment

Phasing of Specific Ilan implementation is a

practical necessity In addition to identifyingfinancing mechanisms and public improvement costs this chapter also addresses impfe

imeoiation timing ana related priorities Iu

general establishmeni of priorities and uhasiig of improvements were determined basedupon the need to alleviate existing crisisconditions the availability of funding andthe effectiveness of improvements in triggering needed private investment

Implementation of the Specific Plan will require coordinated action in a number of different areas

Paiblic Improvements These are the publicly in

itiated improvements identified throughoutthe Specific Ilan and summarized in TableI01 New downtown public improvementswill add value to the area thereby laying the

1LYORIlEm13Il rUClsez ipeciioilmi

foundation for future private sector invest

ment in the form of new development build

ing renovations and desired land use changes

Poicy anc Reguatory Framewor2Iolieies con

tained in the Volume 2 Specific Ilan will helpguide future Town decisions related to theDSA In addition the Zoning Ordinance andDesign Standards will promote privatelyflmded new development and renovation im

plementing the Downtown Specific Plan andsupporting Donnitownseconomic base

Communiiy Parficinarion Implementation ofthe Specific Plan will require coordinated efforts from various groups in the CommunityThis is explained in more detail in the following section

108Community Involvement

Successful implementation of the Downtown

Specific Plan will require a strong publicprivate partnership and in particular a dedicated

private sector Downtown organization Thefollowing entities will play a role in SpecificPlan implementation

hapEerta

Town of TrueZee Future I2edevdopmentAgencyBased on availability of funding and staff re

sources the Town and a future redevelopmentagency will be responsible for initiating themajority of projects and programs listed in Table 101 The Town will also be responsiblefor reviewing and approving privately initiated

development for consistency with the SpecificPlan

Specia Districts The numerous special districts serving the DSA will play a primary rolein providing services to future developmentCooperative relationships between the various

special districts and the Town are essential to

Specific Plan implementation

ivicPrivate Promotional Organizations rganizations such as the Downtown Merchants Association and the Chamber ofCommerce will he responsible for communityinitiated events such as special retail promo

tions festivals parades and DowntownTiltclzee marleeting programs

Private Dvedopers Private developers wi pay

a primary role in Specific Plan implementaion through the construction of new buildzs the rehabilitation of existing buildingslandscaping and other improvements on privatelyowned parcels The two nrimarv deveioament areas of the Specific Plan the NlillFite and Hilltop areas will require a combinaaon of private developer and public agency in

volvement to succeed

jocaflrea Businesses and Property Ouners

These groups are critical to Specific Plan im

alementation In addition to helping fundDowntown improvements local businessesand propertyomers will create much o thedraw to the Downtown area by providing at

tractive retail restaurant and office environ

ments

Residents Maintaining a strong residentialcomponent in the DSA is important to pre

serving the sense of community which cur

rently exists in the area Concerns and needsof Downtown residents should he addressed as

projected growth occurs

10CFinancing Mechanisms

A variety of financing mechanisms are available to implement the Specific Plan This sec

tion describes the various financing optionsavailable identifies cost estimates for pro

posed public improvements and sets forth a

program for developing and implementing a

more detailed financing plan Some financingmechanisms are more public sectororientedsuch as redevelopment property tax incre

ment while others are more private sectorori

ented such as private investment andbusiness improvement districts Table 101

identifies potential financing mechanisms foreach of the Specific Plan policies or programsrequiring a financial commitment to implement Table 102 provides additional detail on

tle advantages and disadvantages of the vari

ous financing options available The report on

TucZee Downtown Specifc Pan Costs and Fi

nancing Metods January 17 197 by Stan

ley R Hoffman Associates contains a

detailed analysis of the potential revenues generated by projected growth in the DSA

Table 102 summarizes available financingmechanisms their advantages and their disadvantages lror the purposes of identifying po

tential financing mechanisms for the projectsand programs identified in Table 101these

financing mechanisms have been consolidatedinto tlie following categories

Private Investment These are funds investedin development or other improvements to generate aprofit for the investor 1lpgrading exist

increasing property taxes within an established redevelopment area Redevelopment tax

increment can effectively multiply the revenue

potential of property tax to the Town ofTnxclzee for public capital facilities but it alsotakes time for the assessed value to increase

overthe base year assessed valuation

Impact Fees These areonetime fees usuallypaid upon issuance of a building permit to

mitigate impacts created by new growth In

cluded within this category are road mitigation fees parizs and recreation mitigationfees and inlieu parking fees

flssessments This is the broadest category offinancing mechanisms This category includesyearly assessments paid by property oaniers or

businesses within a specified area that receives

direct benefit from the improvements fundedby the assessments Lighting and Landscaping Districts Parizing Districts Business Im

provement Districis and PioperhIrmrovement Districts are included within

ithis groan Assessments are a more immeatr

ate source ar revenue than the redevelopmentfends since they would be available shortly after creation of an assessment district Formation of an assessment district will be a

cooperative venture between the Town ofTiiiclzee and downtown property owners andbusinesses

A financing program will need to be cleyelopedin coordination with affected property owners

and businesses to determine what combination of the above mechanisms are acceptableThis is discussed further in Section 10H

mates arc ball park 1997 figures based on

conceptual designs and wdl be refined as

more design work occurs Table 101 identifies potential revenue sources for each of theprojects identified below

Streetscape Improvements These are the roadway sidewalk landscape and street furnishingprojects identified in Streetscape DesignChapter 5 The total capital cost for all identified road segments is approximately 4 million excluding roadway reconstruction

Pedestrian and Bicyce Bridges These are thetwo new bridges proposed across the TruclzeeRiver providing access from the river frontbilze trail into Downtown The total capitalcost is approximately 820000for two

bridges

10E Implementation Matrix

Table 101 is a summary of bow the policiesand programs in the Specific Plan will be im

plemented what the possible revenue sources

are and what the priority is for implementation This table contains the following components

Other Costs The costs for suture sienaiization at the CommercialtZow3rideStreet in

tersection and the est River StreetBridgeStreet intersection will be landed throughroadway mitigation fees which are currently in

place and will not require a separate finanein mechanism Costs for infrastructure im

provements in the Master Plan areas are

assumed to be paid for through private invest

ment One of the unctions of the Taster

Plans will be to identiv infrastructure needsand costs A cost estimate was developed forthe easterly railroad under crossing made nec

essary by future development on theMillSite It will cost approximately w5 million to

construct a road underneath the railroadtracks connecting the bill Site to East RiverStreet

change Section lOF discusses establishmentof public improvement priorities The following time frames are used13 years from plan adoption for thehighest priority projects47 years from plan adoption for mediumpriority projects and those which willrequire substantial expenditures such as

the Jibboom Street parizing structure

10F Public ImprovementPriorities

Projected revenues from each of the financingmechanisms are lzey to determining the vari

ous priorities given to the identified public im

provements The Town Council will ultimately determine which projects are given priorityinimplementation of the Downtown

Specific Plan These priorities must be established relative to the other needs outside ofthe Downtown Study Area due to the limitations of what can be accomplished within the

given time frames with the limited resources

of the Town The Downtown Citizens Advisory Committee developed recommendationson relative priorities for various public im

provements These priorities are reflected in

Table 101 in the column identifying implementation timing Policies in Section 10Iare intended to help guide the priority settingprocess for Downtown Plan implementation

10G RedevelopmentImplementationA commonly referenced financing optionthroughout this specific plan is the formationof a Redevelopment Agency to utilize tax in

crement financing Without Redevelopmentmany of the improvements identified in theSpecific Plan will be difficult if not impossible to implement In particular without a re

development agency it will be very difficult to

assemble propetiies in the Master Plan areas

to implement comprehensive master plan development The Town has initiated a redevelopment feasibility study to evaluate possibleboundaries of a redevelopment district withinTruclzee This study will determine which ar

eas of the Town meet the criteria for blightas defined by redevelopment law which areas

are considered urbanized the tax increment

projection for the study area and the fiscalimpact of a redevelopment agency on affectedagencies Based upon this information theTown Council will then determine if theywant to create a Redevelopment Agency whatlands should be included within its boundaries and what limits should be placed on its

authority

10HAssessment District StudyIn addition to a Redevelopment Plan a detailed assessment district study will need to bedone subsequent to Specific Plan adoption to

help implement necessary assessments and im

pact fees This program must be developed byqualified assessment experts in cooperationwith the Downtown property owners and businesseswho will be assessed The Townsprimary role will be as a facilitator to help theinvolved parties reach an agreement on a pre

ferred assessment program

10IImplementation Policies

The policies to guide implementation of theDowntown Specific Plan are
