7.A. - Page 2 well-vetted with the community, including neighborhood associations located adjacent to Mixed Use Corridor areas. Additional public comment was sought during the creation of the attached ordinance, and this outreach is described in Attachment 10. In order to tailor the new Mixed Use Corridor zoning to the unique and varied settings to which it will be applied, it has been divided into five sub-districts. This allows for some development standards to be applied uniformly through the Mixed Use Corridor properties when that is most appropriate, and for some standards to vary by sub-district when that approach is best. These sub-districts, which are identified on the location map provided in Attachment 9, are as follows: • EI Camino Real • Streetcar Broadway • Gateway Broadway • Veterans Boulevard • Redwood Creek The Mixed Use Corridor Zoning District Ordinance consists primarily of a newly created article which puts forth new regulations for development, but also includes revisions to five existing articles of the Zoning Code. Text which is being added as part of this action is underlined, text which is being deleted is struck through, and unaltered existing text is shown without edit marks. The six articles and related text being created or revised are summarized below: Article 2 is the Definitions section of the Zoning Code. The Mixed Use Corridor Zoning District Ordinance introduces and defines several new terms. (See Attachment 2.) Article 3 establishes and lists all zoning districts within Redwood City. The Mixed Use Corridor Zoning District Ordinance adds the five Mixed Use Corridor sub-districts. (See Attachment 3.) Article 30 establishes parking requirements for development throughout Redwood City. The Mixed Use Corridor Zoning District Ordinance creates parking requirements for areas zoned for Mixed Use Corridor, and also makes minor changes to the citywide requirements for health/fitness and live/work uses as well as parking facility aisle width. (See Attachment 4.) Article 33 regulates nonconforming lots, uses, structures, and parking. The Mixed Use Corridor Zoning District Ordinance disallows the re-establishment of a nonconforming use in a mixed-use zoning district which has ceased for more than 6 months. (See Attachment 5.) Article 53 is a new article for the Zoning Code, and is the primary component of the ordinance currently under consideration. It establishes the development standards for new development within all areas designated as Mixed Use Corridor. (See Attachment 6.) To maintain internal consistency throughout the Zoning Code, amendments are also proposed to several other code sections. These changes are associated with new definitions and terms related to the Mixed Use Corridor Zoning Code, are relatively minor, and affect the following sections of the Zoning Code: 4-6, 8-16, 24, 29, 31, and 35 of the Zoning Code. (See Attachment 7.)
