Article 3 — Mossdale Landing South Zoning Districts of the Mossdale Landing South Urban…

Purposes. The Mossdale Landing South 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 South Urban Design Concept. These zoning districts, ending in "-MV" are limited to the Mossdale Village.

Application. The CS-MV uses will be located along the frontage of 1-5, east of Golden Valley Parkway. The service commercial 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 parcels of Mossdale Landing South are 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 other Mossdale Village commercial areas. 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 service commercial district shall provide an architecturally consistent theme which will blend with the other commercial districts along Golden Valley Parkway, as well as the surrounding land uses.
