2.o Pro�e�7.A. - Page 130 Mixed Use Corridor-Gateway Broadway(MUC-GB): Purpose The large parcels on Broadway at Woodside Road provide opportunities for signature development. Appropriate commercial uses include destination uses, hospitality businesses, large-scale commercial centers, and high-quality office spaces with associated amenities. The purpose of the sub-district is to: ■ Facilitate a positive impression and identifiable gateway to Redwood City through the use of signature architecture, inviting public plazas, and development that supports a walkable environment. ■ Provide opportunities for destination uses in concert with residential uses. ■ Foster comprehensive development plans that accommodate the pedestrian on large-scale sites and encourage an appropriately scaled street grid. The development and use regulations provided in the proposed Draft Mixed Use Corridor District Zoning Ordinance Amendment are consistent with purposes and objectives for each Sub-District. 2.1.2 Arnendrnents to Article 2: Definitions As part of the MUC Zoning Amendment, the Definitions section (Article 2) of the Zoning Ordinance has been revised to include terms that the existing Zoning Ordinance did not define. These definitions include land uses and development terms to provide clarity in the reading of the Zoning Ordinance as amended. 2.1.3 Arnendrnents to Article 3: Designation of Districts As part of the MUC Zoning Amendment, the Designations of Districts section (Article 3) of the Zoning Ordinance has been revised to identify the new Mixed Use Corridor sub-districts. 2.1.4 Arnendrnents to Article 30: Off-Street Parking and Loading As part of the MUC Zoning Amendment, the Off-Street Parking and Loading section (Article 30) of the Zoning Ordinance has been revised to include provide unique parking standards for the Mixed Use Corridor District. Parking regulations have been reduced, pursuant to General Plan direction, to encourage transit use, and facilitate walking and bicycling opportunities put in place by land use policy associated with the General Plan. Parking standards for new uses that were not previously defined in the Zoning Ordinance, but are allowed in the Mixed Use Corridor district, such as health and fitness facilities and live-work units, are also included in the amendments to Article 30. 2.1.5 Arnendrnents to Article 33: Nonconforrning Lots, Uses, Structures, and Parking Article 33, the Nonconforming Lots, Uses, Structures, and Parking section of the Zoning Ordinance, has been revised to apply nonconforming use language to the mixed use zoning districts. Specifically, Article 33 was revised to state that"a nonconforming use shall not be re-established in any structure in a mixed- use zoning district if such nonconforming use has ceased for a six (6) consecutive month period." This regulation is consistent with nonconforming use regulations for residential zoning districts in Redwood City.
