Chapter 17.32 — MIXED-USE ZONES

Woodland Municipal Code · 2026-07 edition · updated 2026-09-27 · Woodland

§ 17.32.010. Purpose and Applicability.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide for the development of a range of uses suitable to the character of Woodland's corridors. Additional purposes of each zone are described below.

  • A. Corridor Mixed-Use-West Main (CMU-WM). West of Downtown, the Corridor MixedUse-West Main Zone is a mixed-use corridor intended to accommodate residential infill and neighborhood-serving retail. The residential density and intensity of nonresidential uses are intended to give the corridor an urban character and revitalize and replace older strip commercial development. Residential, retail, commercial service, and office uses are permitted in a horizontal or vertical mixed-use setting to enhance the streetscape. The CMU-WM zone implements the Corridor Mixed-Use General Plan land use designation.

  • B. Corridor Mixed-Use-East (CMU-E). The Corridor Mixed-Use-East zone facilitates the revitalization of the auto-oriented East Street corridor. Supporting a mix of uses, the zone permits a flexibility of design intended to enhance the urban character and streetscape of the corridor. Residential, retail, commercial service, office, and light industrial uses are permitted in a horizontal or vertical mixed-use configuration. The CMU-E zone implements the Corridor Mixed-Use General Plan land use designation.

  • C. Corridor Mixed-Use-Kentucky (CMU-K). The Corridor Mixed-Use-Kentucky zone accommodates a mix of uses including service and light industrial uses. Residential uses are allowed on the south side of Kentucky. The zone allows this area to continue to function as an agriculture-industrial corridor while sensitively integrating new, mixed-use development to activate specific sections of the corridor. The CMU-K zone implements the Corridor Mixed-Use General Plan land use designation.

  • D. Corridor Mixed-Use-Armfield (CMU-A). The Corridor Mixed-Use-Armfield zone supports a mix of uses similar to the CMU-E zone and permits a flexibility of design intended to enhance the urban character and streetscape of the area with residential, retail, commercial service, and office, uses in a horizontal or vertical mixed-use configuration while providing appropriate transitions and buffers between newer higher intensity uses and existing single-family residential uses. The CMU-A zone implements the Corridor Mixed-Use General Plan land use designation.

  • E. Corridor Mixed-Use-Flex (CMU-F). The Corridor Mixed-Use-Flex zone supports a sensitive transition between the North East Street corridor and the industrial areas to the east. Like the CMU-E zone, it facilitates the revitalization of the auto-oriented East Street corridor and supports a mix of uses to enhance the urban character and streetscape of the corridor, with residential, retail, commercial service, office, and light industrial uses in a horizontal or vertical mixed-use configuration. Smaller-scale custom, light industrial and artisan manufacturing are allowed to add flexibility and vitality to the corridor. The CMUF zone implements the Corridor Mixed-Use General Plan land use designation.

  • F. Community Commercial Mixed-Use (CCMU). The Community Commercial Mixed-Use zone is intended to support commercial development that serves local neighborhoods as well as the rest of the City but does not regularly attract regional, visitor, or pass-through traffic. Uses in this zone include retail, services, grocery stores, restaurants, professional offices, hotels, and similar commercial uses, as well as higher density housing and mixeduse development. The CCMU zone implements the Community Commercial General Plan land use designation.

  • G. Neighborhood Mixed-Use (NMU). The Neighborhood Mixed-Use zone supports commercial development that meets the needs of local neighborhoods. Uses in this zone include smaller scale retail, grocery stores, office, and service-oriented businesses, as well as higher density housing and mixed-use development. The NMU zone implements the Neighborhood Commercial General Plan land use designation.

  • H. Corridor Mixed-Use-Gateway (CMU-G). The Corridor Mixed-Use-Gateway zone, located along an important north-south corridor, is envisioned by the General Plan to support a mix of uses including retail, medical services, offices, business park development and housing. The zone allows for vertical and horizontal mixed-use development. The CMU-G zone implements the Corridor Mixed-Use General Plan land use designation.
