1 (3) COR-3 and COR-3a workplace subdistrict. The workplace area is intended to accommodate 2 medical and technology-related office and research uses, as well as other office uses and 3 ancillary retail and service uses designed to support serve employees and office visitors. Uses 4 with high concentrations of employees are most desirable. The COR-3 subdistrict is further 5 defined by a COR-3a subdistrict that allows exclusively schools. Due to the unique design and 6 site layout needs of a school, different standards are in place in the COR-3a subdistrict than 7 other development within the COR-3 subdistrict. 8 (4) COR-4(COR-4a, COR-4b and COR-4c)neighborhood subdistrict. The neighborhood subdistrict 9 is intended to include a full range of housing types, from small-lot single-family detached to 10 high-density senior and general apartments, as well as a limited number of small-scale retail 11 and office uses at appropriate locations (i.e., at corners). Neighborhood design incorporates 12 many traditional single-family neighborhood features such as alleys, carriage houses 13 (secondary units), front porches, and traditional street lighting. Neighborhoods shall be 14 designed with suitable transitions between different housing types, and with well-integrated 15 open space and natural amenities within walking distance of all homes. Traditional 16 neighborhood design of streets, sidewalks and paths provide easy pedestrian mobility 17 throughout the subdistrict. Protection of natural areas and corridors that link the natural 18 environment to everyday life is emphasized in this area. The COR-4 subdistrict is further 19 defined into three categories according to the residential net density: 20 a. The COR-4a subdistrict is the lowest density area in the COR-4 district allowing up to 21 ten dwelling units per acre. 22 b. The COR-4b subdistrict is the medium density area in the COR-4 district allowing up to 23 15 dwelling units per acre. This area is located along higher volume roadways within 24 the COR and along its perimeter. 25 C. The COR-4c subdistrict shall provide the highest densities in the COR-4 District requiring 26 a minimum of 15 dwelling units per acre. This area is adjacent to the mixed-use core. 27 28 29 gatheFiRg rlarc S , xithiR P sy aeeess of ii A f the rno 30 31 (5) General development standards. All development within the COR district shall meet the COR 32 development framework that is incorporated into this chapter by reference, as amended by the city 33 council on November 27, 2012. These standards will be used by the city as the minimum 34 requirements for evaluating development proposals and site plans. However, the standards are not 35 intended to restrict creativity in design. An applicant may request modification or waiver of any 36 standard in favor of an alternate approach that will achieve the same design objective. 37 38 620 Uses 39 The following sections specifies permitted and conditional uses within each subdistrict of the COR district. 40 The uses have been allocated to the individual districts to allow reasonable use of properties in a manner 41 that is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan, the purpose of each zoning district, and the overall 42 purpose of this chapter. Any use may be combined within buildings (vertically) or in separate buildings 43 (horizontally), unless otherwise specified. Whenever in any zoning district a use is neither specifically 44 permitted or denied, the use shall be considered prohibited. 45 46 621 Principal Uses 47 Permitted and conditional principal uses are listed in the following table for each of the districts in this 48 section.
