5. SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT NO. ST08-0001: An amendment to the Midtown Specific Plan, a long range plan outlining development standards and opportunities for approximately 850-acres located in the midtown area of the City generally bounded by the Union Pacific Railroad lines to the east and north, Abel Street and Elmwood Rehabilitation Center to the west and the City Limits to the south. The amendments include removing references in the text descriptions, policies and figures to the areas now encompassed by the Transit Area Specific Plan, recently adopted by the City Council on June 3, 2008, and the removal of the Midtown Specific Plan designation within an industrial area bounded by Montague Expressway to the north, a vacant parcel adjacent to I-680 to the east, and a City trail to the west and south along the city limits, and redrawing the boundary lines to reflect these changes. Staff Contact: Julie Moloney (408) 586-3384. (Recommendation: Close the public hearing and adopt Resolution No. 08-030 recommending approval of the amendments to the Midtown Specific Plan, General Plan and Zoning Maps.)
