A use permit may be requested for inactive uses to locate on <br />the ground floor where active uses are otherwise required if: <br /> <br />(1) The existing building was designed and built specifically for ground floor office use <br />and would otherwise require substantial improvements to convert the space to an <br />active use; or <br /> <br />(2) The front portion of the ground floor is occupied by an active use, giving the <br />appearance that the inactive use is limited to the upper floors. This should be achieved <br />through the following: <br />(a) The active use dominates the frontage with a depth of 20’ or greater (as <br />the ZA deems appropriate) and with a large and distinct entrance, <br />transparency, signage, and display of goods or services sold; and <br />(b) The inactive use is physically separated from the active space, is located <br />within the rear portion of the ground floor, is accessed through a subsidiary <br />entrance and hallway which are kept at minimum widths, and has no public <br />presence or visibility beyond the signage and doorway. <br /> <br />(3) Any Use Permits granted under the authority of 2.2.1.D shall be exempt from the <br />provisions of Section 42.6.B – Abandonment of Use in the Redwood City Zoning Ordinance. <br /> <br />Sec. 2.2.2 – GENERAL USE REGULATIONS: <br />7.A. - Page 16
