3.A. - Page 4 of 10 <br />• "No Net Loss" laws which requires cities to rezone for additional housing if housing sites are <br />developed with fewer homes than estimated, or with fewer affordable units <br />The City will need to look beyond the Downtown area and major corridors such as Woodside Road and EI <br />Camino Real for future housing sites. In the last eight years, almost all new housing construction was <br />located in denser areas of the City next to or near transit or major thoroughfares. While this has been <br />effective at producing thousands of units in a short amount of time, it has concentrated development into <br />a relatively narrow area, or approximately 15 percent of all land planned for residential <br />development (areas with the Mixed Use General Plan category). Figure 2 shows the breakdown of land <br />uses within Redwood City. The largest use of land in the City is for single-family homes, followed by <br />multifamily homes and then commercial uses. <br />Single Family <br />Multi -Family <br />Mixed Use <br />Commercial <br />Industrial <br />Parks <br />Schoo Is <br />Public Facility <br />Urban Reserve <br />Open Space <br />Figure 2 — General Plan Land Uses by Acres <br />0 500 1,000 1.500 2,000 <br />Total Acres <br />Source: City GIS 2020.
