Residents near the Arts District on Santa Fe want to make sure a 10-block section of the street remains a corridor of ground-level shops. Councilwoman Jamie Torres filed a pre-application last summer calling for a design overlay district — essentially a tweak to the area’s zoning — to be established for the stretch of Santa Fe Drive between 3rd and 13th avenues, as well as some additional areas along 8th Avenue. Most notably, the district would generally require the first floor of new buildings to incorporate retail space.
