Presenter: Eric Johnson, Principal Planner, Growth Management Department
Mr. Johnson gave a brief presentation regarding the development and goals of the Golden Gate
Parkway Overlay District (GGPOD). Mr. Johnson gave a historical accounting of the
development of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan (GGAMP) and how the GGPOD would
support such a plan and implement Land Development Code (LDC) changes that would be
enacted as a result of the overlay to encourage redevelopment of the area.
Discussion ensued from the Advisory Board about available land in the area and how the
committee could be involved to bring landowners to the table. Mr. Callahan explained that as
part of the GGPOD there would be a marketing plan developed after the adoption of the overlay
that would detail the new changes and promote the incentives available by the economic trust
fund established by the Economic Development Zone. The committee will have an advisory
role in the creation of that plan and any funds expended from the trust fund.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize staff to utilize $199,674 from the Golden Gate City Economic
Development Zone Trust Fund for a Golden Gate Parkway Complete Street Study and authorize
the necessary budget amendments.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the current and future traffic within the Golden Gate Parkway Corridor
between Santa Barbara Boulevard and Collier Boulevard and to identify and evaluate potential phased
improvements within the corridor to correspond with the Golden Gate City Vision.
CONSIDERATION: At the November 13, 2018, Board of County Commissioners (Board) meeting, the
Board adopted Ordinance # 2018-056, which created the Golden Gate City Economic Development Zone
to facilitate economic development by establishing an Economic Development Plan and Trust Fund. The
trust funds may be used for economic development activities, including but not limited to developing or
improving local infrastructure. One of the provisions of the Ordinance is establishment of an Advisory
Board, which among other duties, would provide recommendations to the Board for funding through the
Trust Fund. To date, this advisory board has not been established; therefore, staff is seeking authorization
directly from the Board for expenditure of Trust Funds.
At the September 22, 2019, Board meeting, the Board adopted amendments to the Golden Gate Area
Master Plan Element. This element discourages land uses along Golden Gate Parkway and within the
Activity Center that impedes pedestrian activity and is solely auto-oriented. Staff intends to initiate a
master planning effort to integrate people and place in the planning of the roadway improvements. The
existing roadway is not conducive to encouraging development dependent on multi-modal transportation
options. The goal is to ensure the roadway is safe for people of all ages and abilities, balances the needs
of the different modes and ultimately supports and provides the infrastructure for the vision of the Golden
Gate Master Plan, which encourages multi-modal development. The final product will provide an
infrastructure phasing plan to implement improvements required to support the development and
redevelopment efforts along Golden Gate Parkway from Santa Barbara Boulevard to Collier Boulevard.
FISCAL IMPACT: A budget amendment is necessary to move $199,674 from Golden Gate City
Economic Development Zone Fund (782) reserves to the operating expense budget to pay for the proposed
study. Source of funds is tax increment financing dedicated to economic development activities in the
Golden Gate City area.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This item is consistent with Golden Gate Area Master Plan
Element of the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney. By approving
this item, the Board is finding that the Golden Gate Parkway Complete Street Study will assist in
enhancing the economic development of the Golden Gate City Economic Development Zone. With that
finding, this item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board authorizes staff to utilize up to $199,674 from the Golden Gate
City Economic Development Zone Trust Fund for a Golden Gate Parkway Complete Street Study, and to
authorize the associated budget amendment.
