Town Center Area Plan Update
Primarily, this planning effort is related to a program contained within the City of Woodside’s recently adopted Housing Element (Program H2.1-k), which calls for updating the Town Center Area Plan, and through that planning process, determining whether there are areas within the Town Center that could accommodate new housing opportunities and walkable spaces, improved parking and circulation (for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles), and enhanced urban design and public amenities. Additionally, the updated plan will identify desired and appropriate circulation facilities that best serve the Woodside community.
