DATE: February 13, 2017

FROM: Chris Freeland
City Manager
SUBJECT: SPECIAL DO\VNTO\V~ PLAN TRAl~INC SESSION
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Cicy Council and Planning Commission receive the training from the
Gem.nil Plan consultant on the newly adoptod Downtown Plan and administration/impJcmentation of
form-based codes.
BACKGROUND:
On December 20, 2016, the City Council mtroduced an ordinance to approve the Downtown Plan and
Code in conjunction with the adoption of the Genera) Plan. The standards of the Downtown Plan arc
now in cffc,ct. The Downtown Plan and Code establishes w ni ng desig,,ations and development
standards for prope11ies in the Downtown area. The new standard s faci litate w-ban, pede.c;.trian-
oricntc.xl development that allows more intense development (higher densitie.c;. more lot cov<.n1ge. less
parking) than other areas of West Covina.
The zoning code fo r West Covina has been traditional (i.e. Euclidean) code thats main purpose is to
separate land uses from each other. Traditional 1.oning can be effective in a suburban model. n,e
majority of the City (approximately 97%) will continue to utilize traditional zoning. I lowcvc..'T. areas
where the goal is to provide a mixed-use and urban development pattern, s<..--parnting land uses from
one another is not ideal as it generall y then requires vc.tiiclc trips to travel from a residence to a retail
store, office, manufacturing area. or recreational use. For that reason. rhe Downtown Plan utilizes a
different zoning model called a form-based code. As the name implies.. the purpose of this type of
code is fonn and includes a focus on the desi~'ll of public realm. The public realm is the shan.'<.i space
for the community that rnquircs and allows for interaction and community gatherings.

Setting and Context
West Covina downtown area
is strategically located in the
eastern portion of the San
G.,bncl Valley between the
maJor metropolitan areas of
Los Angeles and the Inland
Emp re. The downtown area
is highly accessible and
viS,ible from Interstate 10,
which carries over half mil-
lion vehicles daily.
From 1950 to 1962, West
Covina ~rew 1500% from
a population of 4,499 to
54,688. The City's pro·
mott>d itself as the 'City o'
Be.1utiful Homes:· After the
residential growth boom n
the 1950s. the C ty sought
to expand its commercial
offerings as the "Head-
quarters City". 1>re\lious
planning efforts recoinized
the dovmtown area as the
Central Business District
(CBD) the largest con·
centrat on of commNci,11
uses 1n the city. Th~ CBD
area was develo~d under
the guidance of the WC'st
Covina Redeve;opmcnt
Agency. lhe currMt stan•
dards require• a rrnn,mum of
30 units per ae<e Jnd Jl,ow
up to maximum of 75 units
per .icrc. BO',tevcr, the
arec'.l has dC'Vcloped largely
as ..i commercial center in
lieu of a more distriouted
l,rnd·us.c pattern. This has
--
!ed to congestion during tht'
workday and dcsolatt' areas
during the evening hours
and weel<ends.. The City's
current slogan is "a great
olace to \\'Ork, liv<.', and
pl.1y," More th.in CBD, the
term ·downtown" evokes
a more c~nduring. walkable.
and int<.,grated open-air,
multi,usc development
organiz:cd around ident fi-
abl<.! and energized public
realm where citizens can
gather and strengthen their
community bonds.
The downtovm includes
the civic center, the largest
regional mall in San Gabriel
Valley. professional offrce
buildings, and m .xed-use
corridor comprising of
entertainment, retail, dining.
and urban apartment u~s.

Market Context
The Downtown district ben,

to Oo-.·.ntown los Angeles
and the metropolitan area
.ind is both highly accessible
and hignly visible by way of
Interstate 10.
The city is wealthier than
LA County as a whole, with
45% of households earning
more than $75,000 a year.
Owning a home is the pre-
ferred option in West Covina
and the ratio of ownc>rs
to renters remains largely
stable, even after the Great
Recess on. West Covina has
seen significant growth in
population~ of Chinese and
rilipino cthnic,ty, as wcll
as growth in residents of
Hispanic origin
Although known as a
bedroom community, the
city h.is a large job b.>se,

Sales tax has histor cally
been an important part of
fiscal susta nability in the
City or West Covina. While
the City can support new

egories, there are phys cal
limitations to the amount of
new re<ail space that can be
built and associated retail

de<:1sions.
3. Involve towork
d rcctly with the public
throughout :he pro-
ccss to ensure that
public concerns and
aspirations are consis-
tently understood and
cons dered.
4. Collaborate -to part-
ner with the public in

Key Concepts

3 lntcgrat~ Mixed-use
Districts The plan
envis ons Downtown
West Covina as an
interconnected seres
of tnree mixed-use
districts each loose .y
defined as a 1-'• mile
rad,us pedestrian siled.
Studies show that 1,~
mile radius is the typical
max mum distance an
average North American
walks to a destin.1tion
before deciding to use
vehicular transportation.
The intent of under·
standing the 3 exl~tlng
centers as 1 • .:. mile radius
sh~s. i~ to thus ensure
that <'Jch center hal> a
suff,c f'nt m1K of uses.

components of a walk·

courage dependence on
earl>. The 3 distr,cts are
the Civic Center District
to the west, the West
Covina Mall O st ,ct
in the center, and the
Lak{'S Entertainment
District to the east
2. A Continuous Open
Space Network Tlic
p.;m env,s ons the inte
grat on of he 3 d stricts
through a continuous
open space network
of streets, sidewalks,
crosi.walks, greens and
plazas. The diversity,
quality and r chness
of these open spaces
taken together creates
the publ c realm that
links the three d srncts
and encourages walking
from one to the other
through verdant and
beautifully des1p,ned
spaces.
3. Making\Valkable
Streets Tile plan
recogn11es tha, the
most sip,rnficant aspect
of Downtown W(st
Co·,,na's public realm is
Its existing network of
streets. ln~c streets
are cu rrcntly designed
for ve-hicular circulation
with little attent ·on to
pedestrian activity. The
plan intends to reca-
librate all the streets
with·n the study area
to balance vehicular
and pedestrian acfa•ity
through the enhance·
ment of s dewalks,
the introduction of
rich native landscape
and street furniture
The plan Sff'S these
enriched streets ~s the
fundamental phys
ca, structure that will
determ1"le th{' vibrancy
of the downtown

tncts with an integrated

Non residential uses
are to be parked in the
existing and proposed
parking garages, tots
and on streets, with
drivers parking their car
once and then walking
from location to loca-
tion within a district or
taking public transit
to another district.
R~idential uses will b<>

7. Face to the Freeway
The pre~nce of the
Interstate 10 Freeway to
the north of the stud>·
area 1s an Import.mt
opportunity forthe
Downtown's revital-
11at1on. Thf' frC'cway
accords the Downtown,
and parucularly the
mall, ample v s1bility
for tnoustlnds of com
mutars, suggest ng a
significant economic
opportunity. The plan
.icknowledgC?s the malls
recently enhanced face
to the Freeway. It also
enhances the entry
points from tne Freeway
into toe Downtown,
through building mass-
ing accents that create
gateway conditions
and generate a sense of

To improve reliability for the thous.,nds of daily p.iSS(>og~rs aboard

and road supply by maoag1r,g demand.
Evaluate a number of measures to ensure par)(ng availability while reduc·
ing costs of parking construction and maintenance, and increasing space
for other uses through more efficient management of parking supply.
1. Reduced off-street requirements in the downtown area. The City's
existing off-street parking requirements of 2.2-1.25 spaces per unit in
multifamily residential developments and 1 space per 250 square feet
in most commercia, developments ( 1 space per 3.5 seats plus l oer 40
square feet of as.sembly area or a minimum of 10 per establishment
for restaurants) should bC' reduce<J for mixed-use de,..C.'lopments ,n the

rently I tllc 011,strcet parking in Downtown West Cov·na. However, as
orM,tr ee· and public off-street p.irkmg supply is added in the future, it
should be managed in one or both of two ways: 1) using pricing. andi
or 2) using time limits. The ideal occupancy rate to ensure turnoverin
retail d 1slricts and a steady stream of customers for shops is approxi-
mately 85 percent, meaning that about one out of every seven spaces
should be available at all times. or one or two per blockiace. If pre ing
were implemented. time limits should be relaxed or not used at all.
and any revenues from meters should be dedicated to streetscape
and other improvements benefitting the immediate area. a so-called
parking benefit distr'ct.
4. Parking cash out program. The City's existing TDM ordrnaoce should
be modified to include a par11 ng cash-out option for Downtown
employers. Under such a program. employers offer cash payments to
employees in lieu of free parking spaces: for maoy employers. this may
result n cost savings as the cost of leasrng or construct rng par1(ng ·s
reduced. The benefits of parking cash out are numerous, and inc .ude:
• Provides a subs dy to empJoyees who ride transit, carpoo., van
pool, walk or bicycle to work. I he benefit 1s 1Jaluable to low-income
employees less likely to drive to work atone.
• Provides a low-cost frinr,e benefit that can help individual busi·
nesses recruit and retain employees.
, Park ng cash-out requirements are simple to adm1nist("r and
enforce, typically requiring just couple of m nutc~ pet employee per
month or quarter to administer.

oc ... cloprncnt standards a,c aimed at genrra,mg th<> ndividual bul.dmgson
a block thM collcctivaly with othc, buildings will shape the form of the public
realm
The standards shape and situate buildings based on thQir physical char•
acteristics and compatibility with tne context. The s.ucc~sf ul fit of a new
project into an e)(isting context depends on how it relates to neighboring
buildings to ·ts side and rear in terms of setbacks, neight, massing, scale. and
arrangement of shared and private open spaces.
For each zone identified on tile regulating plan. setback. height, lot size,
a<1d parking requirement associated with permitted building and frontage
types are called out. These standards come together to define the distinctive
character and intensity of a particular zone.
Architectural features such as porches, stoops, bay windows, balconies
and cornices are allowed to project into tile setback area. In d-Owntown area,
balcof'lies, cornices, awnin~s, stands sellmg magazines, fruits, vegetables, or
flowers may pro1ect into the public fight-of-way, sub1ect to encroachment
permit. Such enCfoachments animate street life. En<:roachments should not
affect pedestrian movement and maintenance of util1t1es.
I he bas s of the standards s the synoptic survey and commun,ty vas,on to
create a specific place.

6.1 Frontage Standards
6.lA Purpose
This Section sets forth the standards a pplkable to the development of private frontages.
Private frontages are the comoonents of a buildinP. that provide an. mportant transition
and ·nterface between the public realm (street and side-.valk) and the private realm (yard
or buildinv,). these standards supp.ement the standards for each Lone that the frontage
types are allowed within. For each frontage type, a descnpt on, a statement of the type's
intent, and design standards are provided. These standards are mtcnde-d to ensure that
prooosed dev~opment is consistent with the City's goals fo, building form, pr\ys1cal
character, land use activ,ty and quality
6.18 Applicability
These standards work io cornbination with the standards found in Section 4.0
(Developrnent Standards. oy Zones) and Section 5.0 (Building Types) and are applicable
to all private frontages within transect zones.

7.1 Streets Standards
A Purpose
Ttus Scctron providC's dc.'s1gn standards to ensure tnat proposed development is consistent with
th~ Downto·,,n·s goats for an interconnC:'Cted and walk.aole network of olocks and streets that sup-
port'5 the tntC'nded physical character, land use act,vity and quality. Streets must not only provide
for the efficient and safe movement of people, goods, and services, but must also fac litate great
places which contribute to the look, feel. and experience of the downtown area.
B Apphc.abillty
i. Th s Section descnbes the standards for streets in Downtown zones. It supplements the Engi-
neering Standards_
ii. These street standards are applicable for the transformation of existing stre-e!s and the ere
ation of new streets in Downtown area.
ii'. Additional street assemblies can be integrated into this Section as they are approvC'd by the
City.
C Ocs,gn Objcctiv~
Streets arc, one of the rnost important elements in defining the downtown character. Due to
th,s important role in place making, in addition to their contribution of a major percenta~e of
public space, streets· standards must be considered alongside building form, build ng t-ypes,
frontage tyf)6, civic spaces Md landscaping in creating urban environments.
ii In accordance with the intent of this Section. new or modified street sha II be designed to
incorporate the following criteria for street desi~n:
a. Function: Ensuring essential access to premises for del,venes and servicing, Hfc><"t1ve u~
of curo space to support downtown activities and upgrading utHit es undE>' the roads to
serve downtown's grmving needs.
b. Mobility: Safe, efficient, and reliable movement supporting ilC:C<'SS of pc>oplc and good!..
c. Livability: Providing good and inclusive places for <111 which support v•tat ccooom,c, cul
tural and community activity.
ii'. All of the elements of the st<eets a,e context-based. Ove,all width and pavcmct\t w1dt11, ne
number of lanes, and the lanes' specific s11e,s are listed. Str~t <'dges include dr.i1 nagc collec
tion type, planter type, hehting type, and walkw.1y type and curb radii at intersections. Bulb-
outs are encourased to facilitate a pedl'stnan friendly cnvi,onmcnt.
iv. The street sections in this chapter suggest quality .rnd intent. The dimensions in the street
sections are based on field observations and aerials. Pr~·conslwct on topographic survey
should determine existing cond1t1ons and r,nal street dimcnl.1ons should oe modif;ed
accord inp.ty.
