Document Description
The McKinleyville Town Center Rezone Project (proposed project) is intended to establish a unique identity for McKinleyville by promoting the Town Center area of McKinleyville as a community focal point for social/community interaction. Guidance for developing the Town Center site would be established by rezoning the Town Center area to a Mixed Use base zoning and adopting a “Q-Zone” overlay zoning district. The Q-Zone will apply specific regulations to the Town Center site. The Q-Zone will support a mix of commercial, civic, and residential uses while emphasizing bicycle and pedestrian connectivity, public gathering spaces, open space, and wetland preservation. One of the primary goals for the Town Center to promote mixed land uses that are supported by pedestrian, bicycle, transit improvements, as well as vehicular circulation improvements that enhance connectivity in the area. The Q-Zone includes form-based building design standards.
