Five (5) Mixed-Use Corridor zoning sub-districts are established: a. Mixed-Use Corridor - El Camino Real, b. Mixed-Use Corridor - Veterans Boulevard, c. Mixed-Use Corridor - Redwood Creek, d. Mixed-Use Corridor - Streetcar Broadway, and e. Mixed-Use Corridor - Gateway Broadway. 2. Sub-District Intent. Each of these sub-districts implements the General Plan Mixed- Use - Corridor designation and provides for more specific regulations for distinct areas of Redwood City. Any parcel zoned Mixed-Use Corridor shall be located in one (1) of the following sub-districts: a. Mixed-Use Corridor - El Camino Real (MUC-ECR): Purpose. Redwood City is committed to the revitalization of El Camino Real as a grand, multimodal, and attractive boulevard. The MUC-ECR sub-district represents a continuation of the Grand Boulevard Initiative vision and the Downtown Precise Plan design goals. The purposes of the MUC-ECR sub-district are to: i. Transform El Camino Real into a remarkable, walkable, and exciting corridor, home to a variety of residential and nonresidential uses. ii. Facilitate a pedestrian-scaled environment with buildings that emphasize active and street-oriented frontages, well-scaled and designed buildings, and engaging outdoor spaces and landscaping. iii. Allow for higher-intensity residential, commercial, and mixed-use buildings to provide the appropriate height relative to the width of the street. iv. Provide increased opportunities in Redwood City for residents to live near goods, services, transit, and entertainment. v. Ensure that consideration and proper transition is provided to adjacent lower-density residential uses. vi. Encourage additional pedestrian and transit amenities along El Camino Real and the development of a consistent street front, with ample public right-of-way to facilitate pedestrian environment. b. Mixed-Use Corridor - Veterans Boulevard (MUC-VB): Purpose. Veterans Boulevard and surrounding mixed use designated sites provides a primary entrance gateway into Downtown Redwood City from U.S. 101, Woodside Road, and neighboring jurisdictions. The purposes of the MUC-VB sub-district are to: i. Encourage signature buildings that accentuate the gateway and boulevard features of Veterans Boulevard and surrounding mixed-use designated sites at appropriate locations that serve as entrances to Redwood City. ii. Facilitate circulation interconnectedness and maximize walkability within sites and between adjacent developments, including connections across Veterans
