EXHIBIT "A" ORDINANCE N0. 02 -880 Development Framework Attached materials are part of Ordinance Number 02 -880 11, DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK A. SPECIFIC PLAN VISION The following Specific Plan Vision discussion lays the framework for the direction of the Downtown Specific Plan Area. This direction includes a description of downtown's characteristics, including the •. • . • : - - six established districts within the Plan area. These districts are known as the Districts. Gateway Commercial (GC) District, West Commercial (WC) District, City Center (CC) District, Temple City Boulevard (TC) District, Residential Commercial (RC) District and East Commercial (EC) District. The commercial section of Temple City was founded along Las Tunas Drive in 1920. This commercial section was the downtown. While downtown remains generally intact as a vital commercial area, business has been lost to competing commercial areas throughout the City and to adjacent cities. The vision for the Downtown Specific Plan seeks to discover both the strengths and weaknesses for each of the districts and the area as a whole. Building on the strengths and recognizing and providing resolutions for the weaknesses is a major function in directing the future vision. As previously stated, the Specific Area has developed into three six very distinct commercial districts along Las Tunas Drive (-Page II 5). Recognizing the characteristics of these thfee six districts establishes the framework for the Specific Plan Vision. 1. Gateway Commercial District The Gateway Commercial District is situated along Las Tunas Drive between Sultana Avenue and Encinita Avenue and serves as an important entry point into the City of Temple City itself and the commercial corridor of Las Tunas Drive. The most westerly edge of the district is in close proximity to the Edwards Temple Cinema and the commercial area along Rosemead Boulevard. As a result, it is anticipated that this area would be best suited for entertainment related businesses, which would be supportive of the theater. Restaurants, cafes, boutiques, retail, etc. would be considered ideal uses within this commercial district. The Gateway Commercial District is the transitional gateway to the heart of downtown; it serves as a functional link between the Rosemead Redevelopment Project Area and the Las Tunas Drive Commercial corridor. C'ty of Temple City Downtown Specific Plan Development Framework Attachment to City Council Ordinance No. 02 -880 2. Las Tunas West Commercial District The Las Tunas West Commercial District is generally located along Las Tunas Drive between Sultana Avenue Encinita Avenue and Cloverly Avenue. As it currently exists, this district is developed on narrow (25 to 50 foot wide), individually owned lots. Most lots are commercially developed with older single story buildings. Several buildings are vacant and several accommodate nonconforming residential units either fronting Las Tunas Drive or located behind commercial uses along Las Tunas Drive. eet the stage for development difection of the Las Tunas West District. The vision for the Las Tunas West District is more of suburban design, suggesting larger building setbacks, larger percentages of landscape area and allowing street oriented parking. It includes an incentive program to consolidate lots and encourage larger commercial development with a predominately horizontal architectural of mostly two story structures. Most commercial and retail uses including shopping centers and automotive uses will be allowed in this district along with office uses and senior housing developments, (although senior housing will not be allowed on a first floor fronting Las Tunas Drive). Fast food, including drive -thru restaurants are generally allowed in the Las Tunas West District. Public entry signage with an emphasis on a lush, green streetscape is also envisioned for this district. 3. City Center District The City Center District begins at Coverly Avenue and extends four blocks to the east along Las Tunas Drive to Kauffman Avenue.

The City Center District is the historic "heart" or downtown of Temple City. This district looks and acts like a small town downtown commercial area. The intersection of Temple City Boulevard and Las Tunas Drive is the central focus of this district. several blocks along Temple City Boulevard. This is the only cross street intersection in the City developed in this way. The large vacant property fronting on Temple City Boulevard which previously Existing development in the City Center consists of mostly single story commercial development offering many service and retail commercial uses. Although Las Tunas Drive is a semi - regional thoroughfare, this central district of the Specific Plan area has a pedestrian orientation to it. That is, the buildings are located adjacent to the wide sidewalks along Las Tunas Drive, with parking behind and in centralized public parking lots. The rear parking areas are in many cases unorganized and improperly signed but they are accessible to rear sidewalks which lead to rear building entrances. Lot sizes continue to be fairly small and narrow (4,000 — 8,000 s.f.). The vision for the City Center District is one of a village downtown atmosphere which is pedestrian oriented. Buildings will continue to front right on Las Tunas Drive sidewalks with parking oriented behind or in centralized parking lots. Small lot development of individual stores or storefronts is required with greater density allowed through proportional architecture of up to three and four stories. Service commercial and Retail uses are the encouraged uses in this district. In addition to small individual food uses, a family style restaurant is included in the vision for the City Center District. and senior housing as well as office development which provides residential uses on the upper floors is also encouraged. Wall, window, awning and projecting signs are allowed in the City Center District. No freestanding signs will be allowed. The use of temporary signs will also be limited. The vision for the City Center includes emphasis on quality and detailed architectural and streetscape elements. The detail includes specific storefront design guidelines for new and renovated buildings, Development Framework II -3 pedestrian level lighting, and a new street tree program. Where new development occurs, pedestrian plazas and other open space design elements as well as a mid block pedestrian passageways will be encouraged through various regulatory incentive programs. 4. Temple City Boulevard District The Temple City Boulevard District begins at Las Tunas Drive and extends one block north of Las Tunas Drive to Woodruff Avenue and one block south of Las Tunas Drive to Workman Avenue. The Temple City Boulevard District represents the north -south extensions of the historic "heart" or downtown of Temple City. As in the City Center District, this district looks and acts like a small town downtown commercial area. The large vacant property fronting on Temple City Boulevard, which previously housed an Alpha Beta store provides a unique opportunity for development, which will set the tone of the Specific Plan vision for this area. Existing development in the Temple City Boulevard District consists of mostly single story commercial development offering many service - oriented and retail commercial uses. The concentration of service - oriented businesses establishes the groundwork for the intended future vision for the Temple City Boulevard District. Service- oriented and limited retail uses are the encouraged uses in this district. 5. Las Tunas East District The Las Tunas East District is located along Las Tunas Drive between Kaufman Avenue and Rowland Avenue. A large portion of this district consists of government offices (Civic Center and City Hall), public uses (library and park) and medical offices. Temple City Park is located in the Las Tunas East District near the City Hall and public library. Other portions of the Las Tunas East District are developed with larger users such as the Temple City Unified School District Administrative Office Building and an Adult Day Health Care facility. ' . E ' ' - • • . In addition there are several fast food restaurants (some of which are drive - thru), office buildings, single - family residences which have been City of Temple City Downtown Specific Plan Development Framework A °tachment to City Council Ordinance No. 02 -880 11 -4 converted into office space and automotive use. Generally the lot sizes in this district are larger than in the other twe districts. The mix of old, new and converted uses as well as large and smaller users lends itself to the general lack of planned and cohesive development. The larger building setbacks, orientation of parking in front of many of the buildings and the drive -thru food and automotive uses give the Las Tunas East District a more vehicular look rather than a pedestrian orientation. The concentration of medical offices and governmental /public uses establishes the groundwork for the future vision for the Las Tunas East District. The land use vision encourages the continuation of government and medical uses as well as larger office development, residential conversions and institutional uses. Restaurants of all types are allowed in this district, as are most retail and commercial uses. The development vision for Las Tunas East District provides for landscaped building setbacks with front oriented parking. The larger lots and a lot consolidation incentive program encourage larger four story buildings which incorporate a combination of proportional and vertical architecture. Both freestanding monument and building wall signs are permitted in this district. Pole and rooftop signs are not permitted. Entry signage and special paving will be designed at the City boundary near Baldwin Avenue. Streetscape elements will emphasize the vehicular character of the Las Tunas East District through the use of appropriate street trees.

STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS A. INTRODUCTION One of the important objectives of the Downtown Specific Plan is to enhance the special aesthetic qualities of Las Tunas Drive and Temple City Boulevard and to make this commercial area more pleasant, attractive, and functional. These objectives can lay gely be achieved through the implementation of streetscape improvements. However, this does not mean that a complete ON erhaul of the public right -of -way is necessary or appropriate. The streetscape concepts that are recommended in this section are modest and can be implemented within the existing street right -of -way. The Streetscape Improvements section is a guidebook to be used by the City in revising its streetscape standards within the Specific Plan area; as an example for designers who have been charged with the responsibility of bringing various elements into a form; and as a manual for informing private developers of the aspirations for design quality sought by the City. A_l of the streetscape design elements identified in this section will occur within the public right -of -way. However, when opportunities arise which would permit private developers to utilize the same design elements on private development sites, they w L11 be encouraged to do so. Examples of design elements that could be integrated on private development sites include trees, pn.ving patterns, pedestrian lighting, and street furniture. B. OVERALL STREETSCAPE CONCEPT The plan for streetscape improvements reinforces one of the primary proposals of this Downtown Specific Plan — the creation of three six distinct subareas along Las Tunas Drive. •. • ' , , •• = The City Center will be the primary focus for streetscape improvements due to its higher concentration and intensity of uses and its strong pedestrian orientation. T3 complete the streetscape improvement plan, two entryway features are planned at each end of the Specific Plan area. On the east end of Las Tunas Drive at Baldwin Avenue where a new city entry sign is planned. On the west end of the Specific Plan area, a landscaped entry median is planned on Las Tunas Drive at Rosemead Boulevard. C'ty of Temple City D 2wntown Specific Plan Streetscape Improvements Attachment to City Council Ordinance No. 02 -880 VI - 1 C. GOALS OF THE STREETSCAPE CONCEPT The streetscape improvement plan for the Downtown Specific Plan area has been prepared to address the following goals: C1 Provide an "aesthetically pleasing environment" which draws people to the area and will ultimately enhance property values, merchant revenues, and sales tax to the City. Cl Create a unique "sense of place" for Temple City's primary commercial area while reinforcing the individual identities of each of the three identified subareas. C1 Maintain a "pedestrian scale and orientation" within the City Center and improve pedestrian circulation and amenities. Cl Enhance motorists "sense of arrival' into the City's primary commercial areas. D. STREETSCAPE CONCEPT PLAN The Streetscape Concept Plan (Page III 3) establishes the overall urban design for each of the various individual design elements (i.e. paving patterns, furniture, trees, etc.) that are proposed as streetscape improvements. The key features of the Streetscape Concept Plan are indicated on the illustrations on the following page and include the following concepts: 1. Street Tree Improvements tree(s) associated with it. The district and-the associated street tree(s) are as follows: DISTRICT I3—Las Tunas West District -- - - - - -- - - CityofTemple- City - - Lowntown Specific Plan A ttachment to City Council Ordinance No. 02 -880 Streetscape Improvements TREE SPECIE Crepe Myrtle VI -2 13 —City Center District I3—Las Tunas East District Laced Ficus Crepe Myrtle Street trees shall be determined at the time of planting in conjunction with complimentary public improvements. 2. Textured Crosswalks and Street Intersection The street intersections and crosswalks in the City Center District are strategic in that they have broad visual exposure and accommodate the circulation of both pedestrian and motorists. The Plan recommends that crosswalks at 7 intersection (full and partial) locations be treated with scored concrete paving. The special crosswalk paving will help to define and direct pedestrian circulation; define arrival into the "downtown" area for motorists; and add visual interest to the streetscape. See the Typical Intersection Design graphic for design and Streetscape Concept Map graphic for the seven intersection locations. 3. Downtown Entry Treatments Las Tunas Drive is a major entry portal to the City and provides an opportunity to develop an entry statement that will give motorist a "sense of arrival" as they enter the City's downtown. The key design elements to be provided are a landscaped median at the west end near Rosemead Boulevard and a unique City entry sign on the east end at Baldwin Avenue. See the recommended Temple City Entry Monument Sign graphic. 4. Street Furniture In order to define a clearly recognizable and distinct City Center District within Temple City, the City finds that it is desirable to utilize unique pedestrian oriented street furniture here. These furniture items are shown on the following pages. The items shown are conceptual in nature. Final specifications should be made at the time final designs are completed for other streetscape improvements. Desirable furniture items include: ❑ Benches City of Temple City D9wntown Specific Plan Streetscape Improvements Attachment to City Council Ordinance No. 02 -880 VI -3 Q' Tree grates Q' Bollards Q' Planters Q' Trash receptacles 5. Public Sign Concept In order to further define the Specific Plan area as a separate and distinct district, it is recommended that a unique public sign program be initiated. The proposed program contains two different sign types: Q' Street name pole sign Q' Information / Directory kiosk sign The street name pole sign is recommended to replace all of the current street name pole signs currently located in the Specific Plan area. See the Street Name and Public Signage graphic. The Information / Directory kiosk sign serves multiple purposes. The upper sign panel is meant to direct vehicular travelers into public parking lots and to identify retail uses with parking lot access. The bottom panel is meant to inform and acquaint the pedestrian with all of the retail/office services in the City Center District. Illumination of the sign is highly recommended. Hardware on both signs should be painted to match. Note: The following section will contain detailed descriptions of each of the various streetscape elements (for example, street trees, lighting, street furniture) pending preliminary approval of the overall streetscape concept plan by staff.
