Collectively, this district and these subdistricts are herein this 14 chapter called "mixed -use districts." 15 16 611 COR 17 (A) Purpose The primary intent of the COR district is to create a focal point in the community that 18 embodies the principles of transit -oriented and mixed -use development. The COR district envisions 19 a distinctly different development pattern, with a more urban structure of streets and blocks, than 20 the suburban and rural patterns that have shaped the community to date. The COR area is 21 comprised of a number of distinct subdistricts intended to define the type and intensity of uses, 22 location of amenities and overall character of development. The COR district incorporates the COR 23 development plan and Development Framework by reference to provide necessary building and site 24 design features that are essential to a pedestrian environment. 25 (B) Application — This district may be applied to properties guided Mixed Use as shown on the current 26 Comprehensive Plan. 27 (C) The COR subdistrict definition. The COR district consists of fivc four subdistricts that define the type 28 and intensity of land use. 29 (1) COR-1 mixed -use core subdistrict. The mixed -use core is intended to provide a mix of 30 residential, retail, service, professional, community service, recreational and similar uses on 31 every block near, and within easy walking distance of the transit station. The broadest variety 32 and highest intensity of uses, including high density housing and lodging facilities, are 33 encouraged near the station. Vertically -integrated mixed -use projects with retail, restaurant 34 and service uses, especially at corner locations, are strongly encouraged. This district 35 incorporates the highest architectural and design standards to encourage pedestrian mobility 36 and street activity. The majority of the uses within this district will rely on parking structures 37 to accommodate the parking needs of customers and employees. In order to contribute to an 38 active pedestrian environment, each block within the COR-1 subdistrict shall include at least 39 two of the following uses: commercial, office, civic and/or residential use. 40 (2) COR-2 (COR-2 and 2b) commercial subdistrict. The COR-2 commercial subdistrict is designated 41 to provide a location for retail commercial that has building and/or site designs inconsistent 42 with the COR-1 subdistrict, including larger scale retail and other auto -oriented commercial 43 uses. Such uses tend to benefit from direct highway access and good visibility, and may have 44 market areas that extend beyond the community. These commercial and auto -oriented uses 45 shall be clustered in compact identifiable areas and not present the look of typical strip 46 suburban development. Buildings shall be designed with a pedestrian orientation and 47 relationship to the primary street that is compatible with the adjacent COR-1 subdistrict. The 48 COR-2 subdistrict is further defined by a COR-2b subdistrict that allows for additional flexibility Page 90 of 160
