The purpose of the Mixed-Use Corridor zoning sub-districts is <br />to provide areas for a variety of activities, including commercial, office, and high-density residential uses, <br />or a mixture thereof. Many factors affect whether Caltrans would allow for billboards in certain locations, <br />even if they are currently used for commercial or industrial purposes. Staff will review these regulations <br />and consult with Caltrans in the evaluation process of potential billboard locations. <br />City-owned parcels are indicated with stars on the map above. These sites may not qualify to allow for <br />billboards under the Caltrans regulations and/or because of existing underground utilities on the site. <br />Key Takeaways Regarding the Potential Locations for Digital Billboards in Redwood City <br />Redwood City’s geography, together with the Caltrans regulations that govern billboards, limits the <br />current number of possible areas where the City may allow for billboards. The main reason for this is <br />because of the amount of area currently designated as “landscaped freeway.” However, as noted <br />previously, “landscaped freeway” designations can be adjusted by Caltrans, which would increase the <br />number of eligible properties that could have a digital billboard. <br />8.A. - Page 7 of 12 <br />189
