Table 1B: Draft Overlay Zones
OVERLAYS RECOMMENDATIONS
Existing Overlays - Not Changing
Residential Zero Setback Overlay (-Rz) The Residential Zero Setback Overlay will remain as-is, without changes.
Redevelopment Project Area Overlay (-Rp) The Redevelopment Project Area Overlay will remain as-is, without changes.
Civic Center Overlay (-Cv) The Civic Center Overlay will remain as-is, without changes.
Residential Hillsides Overlay (-Rh) The Residential Hillsides Overlay will remain as-is, without changes.
Existing Overlays - Being Removed
Commercial Zero Setback Overlay (-Cz)
The Commercial Zero Setback Overlay will be removed from the Zoning Code. All parcels that currently fall within the overlay are designated MU- 1 and MU-2 land use designations. Instead of utilizing an overlay, we will allow a 0 ft minimum setback and set maximums as appropriate based on ground-floor use in the MU-1 and MU-2 base development standards.
East Washington Boulevard Overlay (-Ew)
The East Washington Boulevard Overlay will be removed from the Zoning Code. The General Plan Update designates these parcels as MU-1 and MU-
2. A
ll parcels that fall within the overlay currently have a base zone of CG or IG, which allow a broad range of higher-intensity commercial and indus
trial uses such as vehicle repair shops, small-scale manufacturing, wholesaling and distribution, etc. The original intent of the East Washington Boulevard Overlay was to modify the permitted uses in the area to limit and amortize these higher-intensity commercial and light industrial activities. Moving forward, the MU-1 and MU-2 base zones will allow neighborhood-serving and general retail uses, consistent with uses currently on the ground today.
