In addition to the general purposes listed in Chapter 17.02, the specific purposes of the Gateway mixed use district include the following:
A.
To
provide an interim zoning district until a specific plan or similar
plan is prepared for the area, utilizing the Soscol design and development
guidelines and Gateway Vision concepts for general use, development
and design direction. The zoning district continues to emphasize commercial,
attached residential and mixed uses similar in most respects to other
city community commercial districts.
B.
To
anticipate and provide for future land use and circulation needs.
Major changes are anticipated in this mixed use area, due to improvements
that are part of the Napa River flood protection project, new high
profile development downtown and the potential for change on the Expo
site. Development should be designed to allow for future access and
reuse of the Expo site. The rail corridor is being explored for possible
future transit use and a station in the vicinity of Third Street and
Soscol Avenue. The river frontage is being designed with natural floodplain
terraces and a trail. Work on a vision for long term development has
begun. This work builds on the Soscol design and development guidelines
and implementing overlay district, adopted in 2000, that emphasizes
a mix of commercial and residential uses in this district. The area's
assets include its lengthy river frontage, prominent Soscol Corridor
gateway to Downtown Napa, proximity to the Expo and downtown, and
economic and housing potential. There is a need for a district identity
and economic positioning.
C.
To
assure an integrated development pattern and mix of commercial and
residential uses with strong transportation connections within the
area, to the river and to the rest of the city. Development should
be designed to create and share public spaces and streets, with linkages
within any project and to major adjacent sites and features. Residential
bordering Soscol Avenue should be part of a vertical mixed use project.
