bo do through streets as defined in the Master Plan shall be reserved for retail, restaurant and service uses that directly serve the public. Commercial Sub-District - "TC-2" The TC-2 Commercial Sub-District is designated to provide a location for retail commercial that has building and/or site designs inconsistent with the TC-1 Sub district, including larger scale retail and other auto-oriented commercial uses. Such uses tend to benefit from direct highway access and good visibility, and may have market areas that extend beyond the community. These commercial and auto-oriented uses shall be clustered in compact identifiable areas and not present the look of typical strip suburban development. Buildings shall be designed with a pedestrian orientation and relationship to the primary street that is compatible with the adjacent TC-1 Sub-District. Workplace Sub-District - "TC-3 and TC-3a" The workplace area is intended to accommodate medical and technology-related office and research uses, as well as other office uses and ancillary retail and service uses designed to support serve employees and office visitors. Uses with high concentrations of employees are most desirable. The TC-3 Sub- District is further defined by a TC-3a Sub-District that allows exclusively schools. Due to the unique design and site layout needs of a school, different standards are in place in the 3a sub-district than other development within the TC-3 Sub-District. Neighborhood Sub-District - "TC-4" (TC-4a, TC-4b and TC-4c) The Neighborhood Sub-District comprises the northern portion of the Town Center District. The Sub-District is intended to include a full range of housing types, from small-lot single-family detached to high- density senior and general apartments, as well as a limited number of small-scale retail and office uses at appropriate locations (i.e., at comers). Neighborhood design incorporates many traditional single-family neighborhood features such as alleys, carriage houses (secondary units), front porches, and traditional street lighting. Neighborhoods shall be designed with suitable transitions between different housing types, and with well-integrated open space and natural amenities within walking distance of all homes. Traditional neighborhood design of streets, sidewalks and paths provide easy pedestrian mobility throughout the Sub- District. Protection of natural areas and corridors that link the natural environment to everyday life is emphasized in this area. The TC-4 Sub-District is further defined into 3 categories according to the residential net density: 4a The TC-4a Sub-District is the lowest density area in the TC-4 District allowing up to 10 dwelling units per acre. 4b The TC-4b Sub-District is the medium density area in the TC-4 District allowing up to 15 dwelling units per acre. This area is located along higher volume roadways within the Town Center and along its perimeter.
