Arterial Roadway Setbacks
Summary
The city is updating its development code to require buildings along major arterial roads like Redwood Road and Mountain View Corridor to sit back 105 feet from the road centerline. This extra five-foot buffer protects multi-use trail corridors and gives the city space if roads need to be widened in the future.
