This agenda item addresses the Downtown Overlay District (DT) zoning regulations for Alvarado's core downtown area, establishing permitted uses, parking requirements, dimensional standards, and design guidelines. The overlay district mandates strict architectural compatibility, masonry requirements (50-75% of front walls), and incorporates historic design elements from the 1800s-early 1900s. Developers proposing downtown projects must comply with these overlapping requirements including setback averaging, maximum 45-foot building height, 8 dwelling units per acre density cap, and enhanced window transparency standards.
20-2015 — rezoning
This case rezones a small 0.32-acre residential parcel at 905 and 907 Travis Avenue from Single-Family Residential (SF-2) to Garden Home (GH), which would allow denser small-lot single-family development.

Given the tiny site and residential nature, this is unlikely to be material to most commercial developers.
