18.27.020 Intent.
(a) This chapter is designed to implement the general plan designations contained in the Patrick Henry Drive specific plan, creating a high-density, transit-oriented residential district with supportive retail services. Residential uses are authorized in all zoning districts listed below in varying densities, and ground-floor office and retail uses are also allowed in all zoning districts listed below in selected locations. The Patrick Henry Drive plan area is expected to be implemented over time, and this chapter contains provisions for the continuation of existing industrial buildings and uses. This chapter includes the following districts:
(1) Patrick Henry Very-High-Density Residential Zone (PH-R5-100D). The purpose of the PH-R5-100D Patrick Henry very-high-density residential zone is to provide land areas for the construction, use, and occupancy of high density and intensity multifamily developments (i.e., low-rise, mid-rise, and high-rise apartments and condominiums). It is the intent of this zone to encourage development to use innovative site planning, provide on-site recreational amenities and be located near major community facilities, business centers, transportation corridors, and/or major thoroughfares. The residential density range for this zone is fifty-one (51) to one hundred (100) dwelling units per acre. This zone implements the very high-density land use designation in the general plan.
(2) Urban Village (UV-149D). The purpose of the UV-149D urban village zone is to accommodate transit-oriented, multifamily residential development at very high densities between five to twelve (12) stories within the Patrick Henry Drive specific plan. These urban-scale developments feature pedestrian-oriented facades and frontages. Urban village developments include structured or below-grade parking and shared outdoor spaces proximate to transit. The residential density range for this zone is one hundred (100) to one hundred forty-nine (149) dwelling units per acre. This zone implements the urban village land use designation in the general plan.
(3) Village Residential (VR-149D). The purpose of the VR-149D village residential zone is to accommodate multifamily residential development at very high densities between five and twelve (12) stories within the Patrick Henry Drive specific plan. The residential density range for this zone is sixty (60) to one hundred forty-nine (149) dwelling units per acre. This zone implements the village residential land use designation in the general plan.
(4) Urban Center (UC-250D). The purpose of the UC-250D urban center zone is to accommodate transit-oriented, multifamily residential development at very high densities with no height limits except those imposed by the FAA due to flight paths for the San Jose International Airport, within the Patrick Henry Drive specific plan area. These urban-scale developments feature pedestrian-oriented facades and frontages. Urban center developments include structured or below-grade parking and shared outdoor spaces proximate to transit. The residential density range for this zone is one hundred twenty (120) to two hundred fifty (250) dwelling units per acre. Densities over two hundred fifty (250) dwelling units per acre may be allowed for the provision of community benefits agreed upon with the City and formalized in a development agreement. This zone implements the urban center land use designation in the general plan.
(5) High Density Flex (HD Flex). The purpose of the HD flex high density flex zone is to accommodate transit-oriented, multifamily residential development interspersed with office on four parcels along the eastern edge of the Patrick Henry Drive specific plan area. Allowable height ranges between five and twelve (12) stories. The residential density range for this zone is sixty (60) to one hundred forty-nine (149) dwelling units per acre. Office development is allowed up to 2.0 FAR, per the choice of property owners. This zone implements the high-density flex land use designation in the general plan. (Ord. 2045 § 1, 4-5-22).

(b) Allowed Uses. For parcels with legal uses of buildings existing prior to the adoption of this chapter, permitted uses of the prior zoning district are allowed, and none of the other sections of this chapter shall apply to such building and use, until such time as the existing use (including any re-tenanting, maintenance, repair, replacement, modification, expansions and restoration in the event of casualty) has been discontinued in its entirety as set forth in subsection (a) of this section.
(c) Conditional Uses. For parcels with legal uses of buildings existing prior to the adoption of this chapter, conditional uses of the prior zoning district are conditionally permitted, and none of the other sections of this chapter shall apply, until such time as the existing use (including any re-tenanting, maintenance, repair, replacement, modification, expansions and restoration in the event of casualty) has been discontinued in its entirety as set forth in subsection (a) of this section.
