San Carlos Zoning Ordinance Update

Dyett & Bhatia prepared a comprehensive update of the City’s zoning regulations. The new ordinance implements the City’s General Plan through a concise and user-friendly set of regulations. A priority for this project is to craft regulations that will allow San Carlos to maintain and enhance the character of existing neighborhoods, promote economic development, and create new identifiable places, consistent with the General Plan. The update is comprehensive, including new districting, use classifications, development and design regulations, supplemental regulations, and procedures. It includes new form-based regulations to support a walkable and pedestrian-scaled environment and foster transit-oriented development in the City’s Priority Development Areas.
