Goals

Clearly understand constraints so we
don’t chase unworkable options.1

3
Respect the character of Ford Field
and community expectations.
Ensure this study facilitates implementation
and not just another report.
“We understand that the immediate goals
are focused on feasibility, and fundraising,
which will require a report that answers the key
questions without overextending resources.”

Comments From Initial Meetings
66
Feedback Received
Background
• The building should either be located within the Alpine
Road setback or outside the setback along the edge of the
parking lot, not on the north side of the field
• Accurately locate setback lines to inform potential building
locations
• Building aesthetics should be simple, rustic, and cost-
effective
• Look for ways to reduce project cost
• Develop a project schedule to meet the grant deadline
Joint ASCC / Planning Commission Meeting Comments
“Success in the
end is not more
options…it’s clarity.”

18.58.020 - Special setback lines—S
(scenic).
A. Purpose.
Special setback lines—S are established along
streets to assure the provision of space for light, air,
safety, circulation, and visual amenity, and to permit
or require adjustment in the location of structures
to observe unusual physical conditions. Special
setback lines shall be adopted and amended in
conformance with the requirements of Chapter
18.74 and when adopted shall be set forth on the
zoning map.
D.Special Building Setback Lines—S Adopted.
2.Alpine Road
No structure shall be located closer than seventy-
five feet to the right-of-way of Alpine Road in that
section of Alpine Road lying between the northerly
town limits and Portola Road.
*Locating a structure within the setback may
require a General Plan Amendment
*Does not reduce costs significantly
*Sets precedent
18.59.030 - Creek setbacks
A. For building permits and site development
permits, setbacks may be measured from either
the top of creek bank or ordinary high water
mark (see definitions under Sections 18.59.040
and 18.59.050 below) at the option of the
property owner:
3. Parcels of two and one-half acres or more—
Fifty-five feet from top of bank or sixty feet from
ordinary high water mark.
