Part Two: Sub -district Framework Overview The Master Plan and Zoning Ordinance identify five distinct sub -districts within The COR. Each of these sub -districts (outlined on the plan below) is defined by a unique mix of uses, specific site development patterns and perhaps a distinctive character or image. The sub -districts complement one another as part of the overall plan. The sub -districts are shown the attached Sub -district Map (Figure 5). They include: • COR1 Mixed Use Core — provides the broadest variety, highest density and greatest intensity of development, encouraging both vertical and horizontal mixed use • COR2 Commercial — provides a location for larger scale retail and other auto -orientated commercial uses • COR3 Workplace — provides a location for uses with high concentrations of employees, such as medical/technology related office, and other corporate or institutional uses • COR4 Neighborhood — provides opportunities for a range of housing types from small lot single family to townhouse, to high density senior or rental apartment • CORS Park and Open Space — preserves environmental features and provides neighborhood/community amenities throughout The COR Development plans must respond to the overall COR Design Framework described in Part One of this document, but also must address the following detailed framework for each sub -district. To further clarify and illustrate proposed features in the Master Plan, these sub -district guidelines are organized under the following categories: • Public Realm / Streetscape Framework • Site Design Framework • Architectural Framework In all cases, the sub -district framework must be applied in harmony with the overall COR framework and with other existing city, county, state codes, design criteria, plans and studies that support broader goals for regional growth and development. However, within each district, development standards shall be based, in part, on the street hierarchy established in The COR. Public Realm/Streetscape A. The developer shall be responsible for construction of all streetscape improvements along adjacent streets. These improvements include all hardscape improvements, such as trails, sidewalks, street trees, benches, bike racks, etc. Plazas A. All properties with principal buildings in excess shall be required to have a public plaza space. B. The public plaza space shall include benches, trash receptacles, lighting fixtures and other amenities to create a welcoming space for tenants of the building and members of the public. C. These plazas spaces should visible from the public street. Design Framework — The COR Page 38
