§ 21.10.320 Establishment of zoning subdistricts.

Purposes of Land Use Subdistricts. This section provides purpose statements for the zoning districts to be applied within the Route 66 Corridor specific plan.

BG (Barranca Gateway) Subdistrict. The Barranca gateway zoning district is intended to serve as the western gateway into the city of Glendora. The Barranca gateway zoning district seeks to provide the western "front door" to the city, through the establishment of distinctive architecture, streetscape, hardscape and other on-site and off-site amenities. The Barranca gateway zoning district is envisioned to capitalize on adjacent market potential introduced by Azusa Pacific University and Citrus College. The development of student housing and supportive retail uses in both horizontal and vertical mixed-use arrangements is strongly encouraged. A high-level of street-oriented development and pedestrian comfort is envisioned to attract nearby students and residents to this district. Uses appropriate for this zoning subdistrict include mixed use, retail sales, restaurants, offices, and other service uses that provide for the daily needs of local residents. The district is intended to promote stable and attractive commercial development that is compatible with adjacent residential use. Commercial uses are strongly encouraged at intersection locations.

GCG (Grand Commercial Gateway) Subdistrict. The Grand Avenue gateway district is intended to enhance Grand Avenue's function as a primary commercial/retail district within the city. The district is envisioned to serve as a primary southern gateway to the Route 66 Corridor through the provision of higher intensity commercial development catering to the local and regional market. Distinctive architecture and pedestrian amenities compatible with adjacent residences, is encouraged. The zoning subdistrict is intended to provide a wide range of retail sales, business and personal services primarily oriented to the automobile customer. The zoning subdistrict is envisioned as a primary node for serving the general commercial needs of the city through the promotion of stable and attractive retail development.

TCMU (Town Center Mixed Use) Subdistrict. The town center mixed use district is intended to provide for a complementary mix of land uses and development types that are compatible with and reinforce pedestrian activity and transit utilization. The town center mixed use district will emphasize a complementary mix of development types, including multifamily residential, vertical and horizontal mixed-use, commercial uses and smaller-scale street-oriented retail development.

GLG (Glendora Avenue Gateway) Subdistrict. The Glendora Avenue gateway district is intended to support hospital and medical uses, and encourages the consolidation of smaller parcels into a unified campus setting. The subdistrict is envisioned to support new housing in adjacent areas, pedestrian activity and transit utilization. The Glendora Avenue gateway is envisioned to serve the health care needs of the community through expanding the footprint of medical services in the subdistrict and increasing the daytime population with additional employment. The subdistrict may also include limited commercial such as small retail and professional offices.

RSC (Route 66 Service Commercial) Subdistrict. The Route 66 service commercial is intended to provide for a variety of smaller-scale commercial, office and light industrial uses. Flexible commercial and low-intensity industrial development allowing for office/assembly and warehousing under one roof is encouraged. The district is envisioned as a primary node for locally-serving businesses and commercial activity. The Route 66 commercial district is envisioned to contribute to a positive visual image along Route 66 through the establishment of streetscape elements, landscaped buffers and quality site design.

CRR (Central Route 66 Residential) Subdistrict. The central Route 66 residential district is intended to contribute to the mix of housing choices offered to Glendora residents and provide consistency with the Glendora general plan housing element, through the provision of multifamily residential development. Locally-serving retail at corner locations and other residential-compatible commercial uses that cater to nearby residents are encouraged within this zoning subdistrict. New residential development in this zoning subdistrict is envisioned to establish a positive visual image along the Route 66 Corridor and encourage pedestrian connections to adjacent trailways, transit stops, commercial uses, and public sidewalks.

LHG (Lone Hill Gateway) Subdistrict. The Lone Hill gateway district is intended to serve as the eastern gateway of Glendora's Route 66 Corridor. The Lone Hill gateway seeks to provide a welcoming "front door" through streetscape, quality architecture, views to the San Gabriel Mountains while promoting stable and attractive commercial development that is compatible with neighboring residential uses. The district is envisioned as a node for locally-serving retail uses catering to residents and the day-time population generated by adjacent employment. The subdistrict is envisioned to include a complementary mix of locally-serving retail, service commercial, and professional offices.

TCO (Glendora Technology, Commerce and Office) Subdistrict. The Glendora technology, commerce, and office district is intended to serve as a primary employment center within the city. The zoning subdistrict is intended to promote uses including administrative, professional, research, and retail/service commercial uses limited to accessory uses. The zoning subdistrict is envisioned to promote strong internal and external pedestrian circulation that provides on-site amenities and enhanced connections to adjacent retail and commercial development.

GRG (Grand/Route 66 Gateway). The Grand/Route 66 Gateway district has been established to ensure that this key gateway intersection provides the mass and scale and quality, well-designed architectural features including significant landscaping, courtyards and public plazas to establish a "sense of place" creating a unique Glendora theme of beauty, pedestrian scale, and enriched quality of life. The zoning subdistrict is intended to promote a mix of office/retail uses which enhance the gateway entry theme of the intersection as well as promote pedestrian comfort and scale. Excellence of architecture combined with pedestrian-oriented site planning including public courtyards and broad landscaped sidewalks are important features of the district.
