Preliminary RecommendationsRecommend initiation of Community Plan amendment to consider change from industrial to commercial land use designa-tion and zoning to allow commercial and mixed-use development consistent with existing and surrounding uses. Develop strategies and programs to mitigate poten-tial loss of industrial jobs. If residential development is studied and recommended to replace industrial uses, an affordable housing component and/or other public benefits should be incorporated.
