San Carlos Northeast Area Specific Plan

San Carlos Northeast Area Specific Plan

The purpose of the NEASP is to create a vision, policies, and standards to guide new development within the Plan area in a way that supports existing and new businesses, residents, and the overall community. The NEASP will manage and direct changes in the development patterns within the Plan area and guide present and future land uses, zoning changes, economic development, urban design, infrastructure, transportation circulation management and mobility, service provisions, and community benefits. The NEASP would be built out over an approximate 20-year period and would allow for a net increase of 1,890 residential units (no residential units exist within the Plan area currently), as well as an increase in the net square footage of existing land uses within the Plan area. Maximum building heights within the NEASP area would range from a minimum of 75 to 100 feet to and a maximum of 155 feet, depending on the land use designation. Additional height increases for specific land uses would be permitted by the City should bonus conditions determined by the City be met. A new street segment from Quarry Road to Bragato Road would be implemented as part of the NEASP. Additionally, the NEASP would include improvements to the existing transportation network, such as a pedestrian/bicycle connection to Belmont Creek from Quarry Road and the redesign of Industrial Road as a multi-modal district boulevard. The NEASP would increase the setback from Belmont Creek for properties adjacent to Belmont Creek. A General Plan Amendment and rezoning are proposed to allow for the addition of residential land uses to the Plan area.
