REDWOOD CITY EL CAMINO REAL CORRIDOR PLAN <br />OTHER PLANS AND REGULATIONS <br />GENERAL PLAN (2010) <br />Redwood City's General Plan, approved by the City Council <br />in October 2010, establishes key goals, policies, and pro- <br />grams for the City's long-term physical development. Any <br />plan for the EI Camino Real corridor and the Study Area will <br />need to be consistent with the General Plan. The General <br />Plan's blueprint for Redwood City includes transforming EI <br />Camino Real from a suburban, low-density strip commer- <br />cial highway into a vibrant, mixed-use, pedestrian -friendly, <br />grand boulevard that links regional transportation improve- <br />ments and local economic development efforts (see Goal <br />BE -12). The General Plan specifies that this transformation <br />will be accomplished, in part, by, new development projects <br />that "emphasize pedestrian orientation in site and building <br />design, promoting a walkable environment with active street <br />frontages, well -scaled and designed buildings, and engag- <br />ing outdoor spaces." It also provides that "new street tree <br />plantings, widened sidewalks, and pedestrian -scaled light- <br />ing will transform the public streetscape to create a 'great <br />street' experience that communicates the spirit and living <br />quality of Redwood City." The EI Camino Real Corridor Plan <br />is one mechanism for implementing this vision. <br />B-2 <br />T <br />v <br />aD <br />cD <br />cri <br />
