2 El Camino Real section and Land Use El Camino Real El Camino Real (Spanish for The Royal Road) originally connected California searliestmissionsfromsandiegotosanfrancisco.today,el Camino Real (State Route 82 in Redwood City) is a regional route connectingsanjoseandsanfrancisco.elcaminorealspansthelength of Redwood City, although the urban form changes significantly along the corridor. Ample development opportunity sites on El Camino Real offer the possibility to replace lowscale, autooriented commercial developmentbuiltforthelandeconomicsofearlierdecades. Our vision for El Camino Real is integrated with the Grand Boulevard Initiative developed by San Mateo and Santa Clara County cities in conjunction with SamTrans. The Grand Boulevard Initiative looks to transform El Camino Real from a suburban, lowdensity strip commercial highway to a vibrant, mixeduse, pedestrianfriendly boulevard that links regional transportation improvements and local economicdevelopmentefforts.throughthisvision,elcaminorealwill truly become a grand boulevard, with renewed importance and improvedquality.inredwoodcity,elcaminorealwillbeupdatedto facilitate walkable linkages between Sequoia High School, the transportationcenteratthecaltrainstation,anddowntownredwood City.Tohelpachievethisvision,ElCaminoRealhasa Boulevard street typology classification (refer to the Circulation Chapter for more details).

3 and Land Use New development projects will emphasize pedestrian orientation in site and building design,promotingawalkableenvironmentwith active street frontages, wellscaled and designed buildings, and engaging outdoor spaces. New street tree plantings, widened sidewalks, and pedestrianscaled lighting will transform the public streetscape to create a great street experience that communicates the spirit and living quality of Redwood City. The vision for El Camino Real includes development in the form of higherintensity mixed use to provide the appropriate height relative to the width of the street, and increased opportunities to live near goods, services, transit, and entertainment. As such, denserandtallerbuildingsareallowedalongel CaminoReal. Woodside Road Woodside Road (State Route 84) is the city s only major eastwest connection,linkingu.s.101tointerstate280.itisamajorcommercial and residential corridor, and is one of Redwood City s most heavily traveledandhighlyvisiblestreets.woodsideroadprovidesaccessfrom residential neighborhoods to El Camino Real and Downtown, and also servesasanimportantcityentrancefrombothu.s.101andinterstate 280. In2009,usesalongWoodsideRoadincludeneighborhood serving retail and services, and the city s highest concentration of multiunit residential buildings. The Corridor scharacterevolvesalongtheroute,withthemost obvious transition at El Camino Real. Southwest of El Camino Real, Woodside Road is a landscaped suburban arterial, with planted medians, landscaped frontage properties, and special sites such as the historic Union Cemetery.AtElCaminoReal,theWoodsideRoad flyover grade separation divides the neighborhoods and discouragespedestrianaccess.northeastofelcaminoreal, WoodsideRoadcontinuestoseparateneighborhoodswith its freewaylike structure. Higher traffic speeds create difficultiesforpedestrianandbicyclecrossings.

4 Mixed Use Neighborhood and Land Use Mixed Use Land Uses InrecognitionofRedwoodCity scontinuingevolutionasanurbanplace andthecommunity sdesiretoachievesustainabledevelopmentforms, several Mixed Use land use categories are established. Mixeduse developmentapproachesofferopportunitiesforpeopletolivecloseto workorneartransitstops,towalktoneighborhoodstoresandparks,to enjoy indoor and outdoor entertainment close to home, and to experiencevibrantpedestriandistricts. Mixed Use Neighborhood TheMixedUseNeighborhoodcategoryaccommodatesmoderatescale mixeduse developments that combine residential uses with neighborhoodserving commercial storefronts. Commercial retail and services should serve the immediate neighborhoods and facilitate pedestrianfriendly environments. Singleuse structure heights are limited to two or three stories, as outlined below, and combined use structure heights can extend up to four stories with proper consideration given to the scale and intensity of adjacent residential neighborhoods. Development Standards CombinedUse(CommercialandResidential) o Maximumresidentialdensity:40du/acre o Maximumcommercialintensity:1.0FAR o Maximumheight:4stories SingleUse(Commercial) o Maximumcommercialintensity:0.6FAR o Maximumheight:2stories SingleUse(Residential) o Maximumresidentialdensity:40du/acre o Maximumheight:3stories Redwood City General Plan Page BE-45

5 and Land Use Mixed Use Live/Work The Mixed Use Live/Work category facilitates a creative mix of residences and lowintensity workplaces. Live/work environments combine residential occupancy with commercial activity in the same building space, generally with the resident using the combined or adjacentcommercialspaceforhisorherbusiness.typicalusesinclude artistlofts,studiospaces,smalloffices,andsimilar lowintensityuses.

Design considerations should include sensitivity to lowerintensity residential neighborhoods behind sections of the corridor,publicandprivateamenities,andtransitaccessibilityfeatures. Theheightofsingleusecommercialandresidentialstructuresislimited to four stories. Combined use commercialresidential structures can extend in height up to six stories, provided privacy concerns of establishedneighborhoodsareadequatelyaddressedthroughsetbacks of upper stories or other design approaches.
