Title

Lyons Corridor Plan

Description

The City of Santa Clara is updating its zoning regulations within the Unified Development Code (UDC) to be consistent with the General Plan adopted in June 2011. As part of this effort, corridor plans are being developed to focus on the unique character of each community corridor. The first corridor plan focus on Lyons Avenue, east of Interstate 5 and west of Newhall Avenue. The Lyons Corridor Plan, as proposed, takes on a "form-based" code type approach which addresses the relationship between the buildings themselves and public spaces. The result is a plant that ensures that all future development is pedestrian friendly, aesthetically compatible with the character of the Lyons Corridor, and ensures compatible uses that serve the community. More specifically, the Lyons Corridor Plan will create four new distinct zones, will create street and streetscape standards that identify street and streetscape types allowed with the planning area, will provide architectural standards for all future development, and will create development standards for all new development and property modifications within the planning area.
