The 1.99 acre separately parceled lot is located at the Jack London Village in Glen Ellen, off Arnold Drive. It is in a Planned Community (PC) Zoning district. It allows for multiple uses including housing. The parcel was approved under a Master Plan for a commercial 22 room Inn with some shared parking. A rezoning would not be necessary as housing can be considered an allowable use in the PC District if approved under the Master Plan. The General Plan Land Use designation is Limited Commercial. Limited Commercial land is intended to accommodate retail sales and services for the daily self-sufficiency of local rural or urban neighborhoods or communities in keeping with their character. The 1.99 acre parcel at the north end of the Jack London Village is undeveloped and has been used for displaying artwork and to provide some parking. The property fronts Arnold Drive on the west side and Sonoma Creek to the east. The Jack London Village adjacent to the parcel consists of over 23,000 square feet of shops, restaurants, wineries, and boutique retailers. Glen Ellen has a shortage of available residential property. The property would be considered for a commercial Inn, or other residential uses such as condominiums, town homes, and possibly apartments.
