- Additional Information
- Regardless of the proposed use derived by Oracle in partnership with Friends of
Historic Claflin, the Planning Department supports a UPT zone for this property
to increase its marketability regardless of the end-user. The property will
never be utilized as an industrial site, and the mixed-use value of the UPT
creates significant flexibility for future development.
