This is consistent with the Guadalupe Westside Community Plan’s goal to consider mixed use developments which promote compatibility through design guidelines and encourage pedestrian activity on the street. The proposed plan amendment also encourages and facilitates the development of quality, diverse housing that is compatible with the character of the neighborhood.
