Pragress in Removal. of Governmental Canstraints Actions by the City can ha�e an impact on the price and availability of housing in the community. Lancf use co�trols, fees, and building cocles, while necessary, can all potentially constrain housing development. Redwood City str�ves to reduce go�ernmental canstraints, and provided significant �ew develapment opportunities with the adaption of the n�w General Plan, whi�h allows mixed-use development in a variety of locations thraugl�aut the City and increases allowable residentiaf dens�ties. To implement the new General Plan, Redwood City has begun to change existing zoning and replace it with new and innovati�e land use controls. By so doing, the City has 'jump started"' the implementa�tion af several new housing programs with the objective of creating more housing in the Do+nrntown and alang transpartatian corricfors. 8
