Stanley - subregional is smaller than a regional center or mall. It attracts some use beyond city boundaries but is somewhat smaller than a regional center. Trader Joes and the Plaza de La Canada would be considered subregional centers. Mr. Sherer added that a regional center is a mallsize development drawing from 10 miles away or greater, and is usually larger than 11 acres. Subregional centers draw from less than that.
Access leads to the subregional definition.
Staff could research the designation further and put a definition in the specific plan. The Plaza de La Canada is more local. It probably does not bring people from more than 5 to 10 miles away. Councilman Feehan felt that people come from several miles away to go to TJ Maxx because the City gets a large portion of sales tax from that store. Councilman Orlik said she was concerned about conflicting wording about the traffic counts.
