(min. - max.) a. Residential density is based on the net area of the parcel in question for parcels. In the event that public open space that is not dedicated to the city is developed independently of any particular residential project, the land area of the open space shall be divided equally among those abutting projects for purposes of density calculations. b. Setbacks for residential units located within the TC -1 Zoning District shall be measured from building front to edge of right -of -way, or edge of sidewalk easement as defined by the City and said sidewalk must be encumbered by a sidewalk easement recorded with the office of the Anoka County Recorder. Setbacks for residential units located within the TC -4 Zoning District shall be measured from building front to edge of sidewalk, edge of right -of -way, or to back of street curb, whichever is appropriate. (d) General development standards. All development within the COR District shall meet the COR Development Guidelines that are incorporated into this chapter by reference. These standards will be used by the city as the minimum requirements for evaluating development proposals and site plans. However, the standards are not intended to restrict creativity in design. An applicant may request modification or waiver of any standard in favor of an alternate approach that will achieve the same design objective. (e) Parking standards. Parking in the COR District is intended to be shared to the greatest extent practicable in all mixed -use areas. The parking standards are intended to provide a practical basis for providing adequate parking within the COR District through a careful analysis of uses, shared parking arrangements, use of public street parking and reduction allowances for the proximity to the transit station. A parking plan shall be prepared as part of the development plan to address the number, location, sharing arrangements, and public use when applicable. The parking plan shall also attempt to anticipate to the extent possible, how to address longer term parking arrangements if the possibility of use conversion or building expansion exists. Parking shall be provided under any of the following arrangements: (1) Off - street parking in the COR - and COR -2 subdistricts shall be secured for public use through parking easements and other appropriate conveyances. Shared parking arrangements between nearby uses are encouraged in both subdistricts. (2) On- street parking adjacent to buildings may be used for the purposes of calculating parking requirements for street level, nonresidential uses. (3) Within the COR -4 subdistrict, parking on individual parcels serving individual uses may be provided if designated and approved as part of the master plan. (4) In order to ensure the pedestrian orientation of the COR Districts, maximum parking standards are set based on the following: Retail 4 per 1,000 sq. ft. Restaurants 5 per 1,000 sq. ft. Offices 3 per 1,000 sq. ft. Medical offices, clinics 4 per 1,000 sq. ft. Health clubs 3 per 1,000 sq. ft. Theaters, places of assembly 1 per 4 seats Residential
