<br /> Shopping Center, Fashion/Specialty Center A center
<br /> composed mainly of upscale apparel shops, boutiques, and craft
<br /> shops carrying selected fashions or unique merchandise of high
<br /> quality and price. These centers need not be anchored, although
<br /> sometimes restaurants or entertainment can provide the draw of
<br /> anchors. The physical design of thc center is very sophisticated,
<br /> emphasizing a rich decor and high-quality landscaping. These
<br /> centers usually are found in trade areas having high income levels.

<br /> Shopping Center, Outlet Center Usually located in rural or
<br /> occasionally tourist locations, outlet centers consist mostly of
<br /> manufacturers' outlet stores selling their own brands at a
<br /> discount. These centers are typically not anchored. A strip
<br /> configuration is most common, although some are enclosed
<br /> malls, and others can be arranged in a "village cluster."
<br /> (International Council of Shopping Centers, w,vw. ICSC. org)
<br /> Shopping Center, Power Center A center dominated by
<br /> several large anchors, including discount dcpartment stores, off-
<br /> price stores, warehouse clubs, or "category killers," i.e., stores that
<br /> offer tremendous selection in a particular merchandise category at
<br /> low prices. Tile center typically consists of several freestanding
<br /> (unconnected) anchors and only a minimum of small tenants.

<br /> Shopping Center, Regional Center This center type
<br /> provides general merchandise (a large percentage of which is
<br /> apparel) and services in full depth and variety. Its main
<br /> attractions are anchors: traditional, mass merchandise, or
<br /> discount department stores or fashion or specialty stores. A
<br /> typical regional center is usually enclosed with an inward
<br /> orientation of the stores connected by a common walkway, and
<br /> parking surrounds tile outside perimeter. (International Council
<br /> of Shopping Centers, www. ICSC. org)
<br /> A group of commercial enterprises, offering a range of
<br />commercial goods and services in an aggregate of 400,000 square
<br />feet or more of net floor area, which arc designed as a single
<br />commercial group, whether or not located on the same lot; under
<br />one common ownership or management, or having one common
<br />arrangement for the maintenance of the gronnds; are connected by
<br />party walls, partitions, covered canopies, or other structural
<br />members to form one continuous structure; share a common
<br />par'king area; and otherwise present the appearance of one
<br />continuous commercial area. (Fai~Cax County, VA)
<br /> Shopping Center, Snperregional Center Similar to a regional
<br />center, but because of its larger size, a st,perregional cent~r..has more
<br />anchors, a deeper selection of merchandise, and draws from a larger
<br />popalation base. As with regional centers, the typical configuration
<br />is as an enclosed mall, frequently with multiple levels. (International
<br />Cot~ncil of Shopphtg Centers, www. ICSC. org)

<br />commercial goods and services in an aggregate of 1,400,000 square

<br />structural members to form one continuous structure; share a
<br />
<br /> common parking area; and otherwise present the appearance of one
<br /> continuous commercial area. (Fairfax County, VA)
<br /> Shopping Center, Theme/Festival Center These centers
<br /> typically employ a unifying theme that is carried out by the
<br /> individual shops in their architectural design and, to an extent,
<br /> in their merchandise. The biggest appeal of these centers is to
<br /> tourists; they can be anchored by restaurants and entertainment
<br /> facilities. These centers, generally located in urban areas, tend to
<br /> be adapted from older, sometimes historic, buildings, and can
<br /> be a part of mixed-use projects. (International Council of
<br /> Shopping Centers, www. ICSC. org)
<br /> Strip Center An attached row of stores or service outlets
<br /> managed as a coherent retail entity, with on-site parking usually
<br /> located in front of the stores. Open canopies may connect the
<br /> store fronts, but a strip center does not have enclosed walk'ways
<br /> linking the stores. A strip center may by configured in a straight
<br /> line, or have an "L" or "U" shape. (]nternatlonal Council of
<br /> Shopping Centers, www. ICSC. org)
<br /> Strip Development Commercial zoning/development
<br /> immediately adjacent, and parallel to, a collector or arterial
<br /> street that is generally less than 250 feet in depth. (Jefferson
<br /> Counfy, CO)
<br /> Commercial, retail, or industrial development, usually one
<br /> lot deep, that fronts on a major street. (£lbert County, CO)
<br /> Teardown The construction or remodeling of single-family
<br /> homes to thc maximum allowable size permitted by land-use
<br /> and zoning regulation in neighborhoods distinctly characterized
<br /> by considerably smaller homes. (Glendale, CA)
<br /> Telework Center Satellite work facility incorporating
<br /> sufficient technology to permit employees to reduce their
<br /> commute trip, or to work closer to home. The goal of such
<br /> centers is to reduce the distance traveled in a commute trip by
<br /> as least half the distance. (Redmond, WA)
<br /> Theater A movie theater is a specialized theater for showing
<br /> movies or motion pictures. The primary structural difference
<br /> between a theater and a movie theater is the projection screen.
<br /> However, many movie theaters can be easily adapted for stage
<br /> performances, and many stages have folding screens for movie
<br /> projections. Although screen shapes are mostly rectangular, they
<br /> come in a variety of shapes. Also, some special-purpose multimedia
<br /> movie theaters use multiple screens (one on each wall face) or the
<br /> entire ceiling surface, which is sometimes curved or geodesic in
<br /> shape. (APA's Land-Based Classification Standards)
<br /> Theater, Mega Often refers to a single theater, freestanding
<br />or part ofa megaplex, that has an unusually largS'seating
<br />capacity, 1,000 or more seats. The term "supercincma" is
<br />sometimes used to refer to a megatheater. (APA's Land-Based
<br />Classification Standards)
<br /> Theater, Megaplex The main distinction between a
<br />multiplex and a megaplex is the stadium-style seating. Stadium-
<br />style seating has better sight lines and offers unobstructed views
<br />of the screen from all seats in a theater. The same cannot be said
<br />for sloped or flat seating styles, which are common in
<br />multiplexes. Beginning in 1994, theater designs seem to have
<br />embraced stadium-style seating, which requires doubling the
<br />ceiling height, along with other advances in digital and audio
<br />technologies for movie projections. The screens themselves are
<br />nov., bigger, from wall to wall and ceiling to floor, the aisles are
<br />wider, and the seats have arm rests and holders for food and
<br />drink. Some newer theaters even have tilt arm rests that can fold
<br />to form love seats. Because of these structural changes,
<br />megaplexes are larger, occupy more space, and provide more
<br />space per seat than multiplexes. They also tend to have more
<br />
