A new rezoning plan in downtown Glendale, CA, calls for building housing above neighborhood retail stores and restaurants.
"City officials hope to create a new kind of community, where residents can walk downstairs to run errands, converge at coffee shops and find entertainment all on the same street and maybe even walk to work a few blocks away. Officials also hope pedestrians will spill over to Brand Boulevard, the city's main drag, and boost business there... With the vote, Glendale hopes to join a spattering of Southern California cities developing mixed-use complexes on commercial boulevards, such as Venice Renaissance, Burbank Media Village and Pasadena's Paseo Colorado."
