ATTY/RESO.0032/CC RESO ADOPTING AMENDMENT TO GENERAL PLAN (901 EL CAMINO REAL) <br />REV: 04-22-25 VR <br />Page 6 of 6 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />(GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT) <br /> <br />(901 EL CAMINO REAL) <br /> <br />PAGE BE-47 Mixed Use – Downtown <br />The Mixed Use ‐ Downtown category applies to Redwood City’s historic Downtown core <br />and is established to create a vibrant city center with offices, theaters, retail businesses, <br />and restaurants serving the residences, day‐time businesses, and night‐time <br />entertainment populations. In Downtown, open spaces are primarily public and urban in <br />nature, with extra emphasis on high quality public spaces and traditional urbanism. <br />Parking is primarily in the form of shared public facilities. Uses specifically prohibited in <br />Downtown, due to their incompatibility with a pedestrian‐oriented mixed‐use district, <br />include vehicle sales and repair, industrial and manufacturing businesses, and <br />wholesaling activities. Maximum heights Downtown will range from 35 ft. tall buildings at <br />the edges, to 136 ft. tall buildings in the very center, with most areas having a 92 ft. height <br />limit. <br /> <br />Development Standards 1 <br />• Maximum density: No limit on residential density <br />• Height: 35 ft. – 136 ft (generally 3‐12 stories) <br />• Maximum Intensity: No limit on FAR except as follows: <br />o DTPP area: maximum net new development capacity of 971,867 1,277,092 <br />square feet of additional nonresidential space (871,867 1,177,092 square <br />feet for office {80,000 of which to be reserved for projects containing no <br />more than 20,000 net new square feet of office uses} and 100,000 for retail). <br />o Transit District: in addition to the above, maximum net new development <br />capacity of 1,230,000 sq. ft. of additional nonresidential space. <br /> <br /> <br />1 It should be noted that the figures shown here representing maximum density and maximum intensity may <br />be revised based on future Downtown plans. In this event, an amendment to this document will be required, <br />subject to applicable environmental review under CEQA and an associated public review process.
