Collectively, this district and these subdistricts are herein this chapter called "mixed -use districts." 611 COR (A) Purpose The primary intent of the COR district is to create a focal point in the community that embodies the principles of transit -oriented and mixed -use development. The COR district envisions a distinctly different development pattern, with a more urban structure of streets and blocks, than the suburban and rural patterns that have shaped the community to date. The COR area is comprised of a number of distinct subdistricts intended to define the type and intensity of uses, location of amenities and overall character of development. The COR district incorporates the COR development plan and Development Framework by reference to provide necessary building and site design features that are essential to a pedestrian environment. (B) Application —This district may be applied to properties guided Mixed Use as shown on the current Comprehensive Plan. (C) The COR subdistrict definition. The COR district consists of five four subdistricts that define the type and intensity of land use. (1) COR-1 mixed -use core subdistrict. The mixed -use core is intended to provide a mix of residential, retail, service, professional, community service, recreational and similar uses on every block near, and within easy walking distance of the transit station. The broadest variety and highest intensity of uses, including high density housing and lodging facilities, are encouraged near the station. Vertically -integrated mixed -use projects with retail, restaurant and service uses, especially at corner locations, are strongly encouraged. This district incorporates the highest architectural and design standards to encourage pedestrian mobility and street activity. The majority of the uses within this district will rely on parking structures to accommodate the parking needs of customers and employees. In order to contribute to an active pedestrian environment, each block within the COR-1 subdistrict shall include at least two of the following uses: commercial, office, civic and/or residential use. (2) COR-2 (COR-2 and 2b) commercial subdistrict. The COR-2 commercial subdistrict is designated to provide a location for retail commercial that has building and/or site designs inconsistent with the COR-1 subdistrict, 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 COR-1 subdistrict. The COR-2 subdistrict is further defined by a COR-2b subdistrictthat allows for additional flexibility in allowing larger -scale retail that is intended to anchor the development and support the mixed -uses within the development. (3) COR-3 e1nd GOR 3e workplace subdistrict. The workplace area is intended to accommodate medical and technology -related office and research uses, as well as other office uses and Page 90 of 160
