The Property is guided as Mixed Use in the Comprehensive Plan and is zoned The <br />COR. The intent of the Mixed Use land use designation is to allow for the construction of a variety of uses <br />including retail, commercial, entertainment, office, institutional, high density residential, transit hubs and park <br />and recreation uses with access to municipal sewer and water. The proposed use is consistent with this land use <br />guidance. The project is located within the COR 1 Mixed Use Core. This subdistrict is intended to be the most <br />urban of all sub -districts in The COR. The compact and higher density blocks that define this subdistrict <br />encourage a mix of uses, with a continuous built edge along street frontage. Innovative parking strategies <br />support this mix, providing easy access to destination shopping, restaurant and entertainment venues. This <br />district requires a minimum density of 15 units per acre. As proposed, the density achieved would be 51.2 units <br />per acre. <br />Lot Dimensions. There is no minimum lot size in The COR 1 Mixed Use Core subdistrict. The minimum lot <br />width is 20 feet, measured at the building setback line, and the minimum lot depth is 80 feet. The proposed lot <br />is 3.38 acres in size and the proposed ou lots are 3.90 acres and 9.38 acres in size. <br />Setbacks and Dimensional Standards. <br />
