Article 1 — Mossdale Landing Zoning Districts of the Mossdale Landing Urban Design Concept

Lathrop Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · ingested 2026-07-06 · Lathrop

Purpose: The Mossdale Landing zoning districts in this chapter are designed to provide the opportunity for a wide variety of residential and commercial uses on lands located in the Mossdale Village area which are encompassed by the approved West Lathrop Specific Plan. These zoning districts are subject to the Mossdale Landing Urban Design Concept. These zoning districts, ending in "-MV" are limited to the Mossdale Village.

§ 17.57.100. CS-MV: service commercial—Mossdale Village zoning district.

Application. The CS-MV uses will be located along the frontage of 1-5, between Golden Valley Parkway and Manthey Road. The CS-MV zone district is intended for establishments engaged in local and regional retail, services, and office functions. These businesses require easy arterial access, good visibility, and adequate parking. The service commercial designated parcel of Mossdale Landing is a small part of a larger commercial district in the Mossdale Village area of the West Lathrop Specific Plan. As such, the architectural character of the commercial development shall be consistent with the design standards established for the remainder of the Mossdale Village commercial areas. These commercial areas will be pedestrian oriented in terms of circulation,

storefront and "public space" design, and provide connections to other adjacent commercial and residential areas. The proposed uses in the CS-MV zone district shall provide an architecturally consistent theme along Golden Valley Parkway and the surrounding land uses, particularly the Village Center.
