This site is zoned Business Professional (BP) within a Planned Development Overlay District (PD); this zone is intended for office/commercial uses. However, the
site is within the East Bidwell Corridor (EBC) Mixed-Use General Plan Overlay, which does allow for residential uses of a density at least 30 dwelling units/acre and an FAR between 0.2 – 1.5. This overlay designation gives property owners along the East Bidwell Corridor the flexibility to develop sites as mixed-use. It provides for a mixture of commercial and residential uses that are mutually compatible along East Bidwell Street. This designation balances existing commercial uses with future mixed-use development. This designation allows for multifamily housing as well as shops, restaurants, services, offices, and other compatible uses. For mixed-use development that includes residential uses as well as standalone residential developments within this overlay, building intensity standards are established by minimum residential density and maximum FAR. Intensity of nonresidential development is regulated by minimum and maximum FAR.
