Attachment 6 Draft Corridor Study Area Land Use Highlights and Maps (Refer to attached Maps) Veteransl Broadway Area: (New Draft Alternative 3) . The new alternative for Veterans/Broadway area adds a new special area for Officerrech incubator space along lower Broadway. . The new alternative calls for additional "Mixed Use Corridor" land at Veterans Avenue and Main Street, and uLivelWork" areas near 2nd Avenue and Rollison Road, near Industrial and Whipple and two areas along Woodside Road. Some "clean up" work was also included by expanding the Hospital land designation for Kaiser and changing the land use designations of other parcels to accurately reflect what is currently built (some current apartments and offices). Relationship to Guiding Principles: Draft Alternative 3 relates to the guiding principle of "strengthening economic vitality to provide services, revenues and opportunities" by providing office/tech incubator space and "Live Work" possibilities. It also adds higher density housing along a corridor (Veterans Blvd) with major services in place, thereby complying with the guiding principle of sustainability. EI Camino Real Corridor (New Draft Alternative 3) . This alternative has less uMixed Use Neighborhood" and more "Mixed Use Corridor" and more "LivelWork" along EI Camino Real. This could result in more housing along EI Camino and a transitional use between neighborhoods and EI Camino. Relationship to Guiding Principles Draft Alternative 3 relates to the guiding principle of "partnering and embracing neighborhoods to improve health and safety and well being for all" by allowing more housing in and around a transit corridor with convenient access. This also pertains to the principle of "planning for sustainability" as higher density housing along transit corridors can result in less dependency on the auto and result in energy savings. Woodside Road (Draft Alternative 2) . It includes nodes of mixed use with residential units in between. The designation allows single use buildings (1000.10 commercial or 1000/0 residential) as well as mixed-use buildings in the mixed use setting. A density reduction in the Redwood Oaks neighborhood is also included in this alternative. No other change is being recommended. Relationship to Guiding Principles: Similar to the EI Camino Real alternative, this Draft Alternative 2 provides for higher density neighborhoods around commercial nodes which results in convenient access and pedestrian connections. This supports the guiding principle of "healthy" neighborhoods. Also this feature supports the guiding principle of uplanning for sustainabilityU as there could be a reduction in vehicle trips and thereby energy use.
