Purpose. The Mossdale Landing East 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 East Urban Design Concept. These zoning districts, ending in "-MV" are limited to the Mossdale Village.
§ 17.57.200. CH-MV: highway commercial—Mossdale Village zoning district. ¶
Application. The CH-MV designated uses are proposed between 1-5 and Golden Valley Parkway directly south of the interchange between 1-5 and River Islands Parkway. Uses within the highway commercial area will cater to travelers along 1-5 in addition to local Lathrop residents. The highway commercial district is intended for establishments engaged in local and regional retail, service, and office functions. These businesses require easy arterial access, good visibility, and adequate parking.

The architectural character of the commercial development shall be consistent with the design standards established for other areas of Mossdale Village. These commercial areas will provide efficient circulation, utilize storefront and "public space" design, and establish connections to other adjacent commercial and residential areas. The proposed uses in the highway commercial district shall provide an architecturally consistent theme along Golden Valley Parkway and the surrounding land uses, particularly the Village Center.
