McKinleyville Town Center Zoning Amendment

McKinleyville Town Center Zoning Amendment

The Humboldt County General Plan and McKinleyville Community Plan envision the Town Center site to be developed with a mix of commercial, civic, and residential uses, public gathering spaces, open space, and wetland preservation. Part of the vision is to develop a mix of land uses that are served by robust pedestrian, bicycle, transit facilities and to provide “complete street” improvements that support both vehicular and non-vehicular modes of movement. To facilitate future development that would implement the vision for the site, the County is proposing two rezoning actions: 1) rezone the entire Town Center site to Mixed Use-Urban (MU1), and 2) adopt “Q-Zone” combining regulations that, among other guidance, would modify the proposed principal Mixed Use zoning regulations. The County is also proposing an amendment to the McKinleyville Community Plan to incorporate the General Plan adopted definition of a wetland as three parameters, rather than the current single parameter definition. The rezoning actions would provide for development capacity of up to 2,650 multi-family residential units, 632,800 square feet of retail/commercial uses, and up to 271,200 square feet of office uses. The site would develop over time via individual future development applications to be submitted for Zoning Clearance Certification.
