COMMUNITY ANCHOR DISTRICT
from Millbrae Downtown & El Camino Real Specific Plan / Broadway & El Camino Real Streetscape Plan
by wrtdesign
The Community Anchor is envisioned as a destination that will draw people from the station area, through the Downtown District. It will complement the Downtown District with uses that expand the Downtown experience but need a larger footprint than what downtown can offer. A mix of uses that will give this district a unique identity includes: large format specialty retail, grocery stores, lifestyle stores, medium to high density residential, a hotel, and multi-purpose facility for meetings, conferences and community events. High-density uses will be complemented with high quality public realm design and publicly accessible open spaces.
The character of the overall district will simultaneously respond to El Camino Real and to Broadway for the parcels that front those respective streets. There will be clearly defined and safe pedestrian circulation paths that connect this district with the adjacent streets.
