Collectively,this district and these subdistricts are herein this 11 chapter called "mixed-use districts." 12 13 611 COR 14 (A) Purpose The primary intent of the COR district is to create a focal point in the community that 15 embodies the principles of transit-oriented and mixed-use development.The COR district envisions 16 a distinctly different development pattern, with a more urban structure of streets and blocks, than 17 the suburban and rural patterns that have shaped the community to date. The COR area is 18 comprised of a number of distinct subdistricts intended to define the type and intensity of uses, 19 location of amenities and overall character of development. The COR district incorporates the COR 20 development plan and Development Framework by reference to provide necessary building and site 21 design features that are essential to a pedestrian environment. 22 (B) Application—This district may be applied to properties guided Mixed Use as shown on the current 23 Comprehensive Plan. 24 (C) The COR subdistrict definition.The COR district consists of five four subdistricts that define the type 25 and intensity of land use. 26 (1) COR-1 mixed-use core subdistrict. The mixed-use core is intended to provide a mix of 27 residential, retail, service, professional, community service, recreational and similar uses on 28 every block near,and within easy walking distance of the transit station.The broadest variety 29 and highest intensity of uses, including high density housing and lodging facilities, are 30 encouraged near the station. Vertically-integrated mixed-use projects with retail, restaurant 31 and service uses, especially at corner locations, are strongly encouraged. This district 32 incorporates the highest architectural and design standards to encourage pedestrian mobility 33 and street activity. The majority of the uses within this district will rely on parking structures 34 to accommodate the parking needs of customers and employees. In order to contribute to an 35 active pedestrian environment, each block within the COR-1 subdistrict shall include at least 36 two of the following uses: commercial,office, civic and/or residential use. 37 (2) COR-2(COR-2 and 2b)commercial subdistrict.The COR-2 commercial subdistrict is designated 38 to provide a location for retail commercial that has building and/or site designs inconsistent 39 with the COR-1 subdistrict, including larger scale retail and other auto-oriented commercial 40 uses. Such uses tend to benefit from direct highway access and good visibility, and may have 41 market areas that extend beyond the community. These commercial and auto-oriented uses 42 shall be clustered in compact identifiable areas and not present the look of typical strip 43 suburban development. Buildings shall be designed with a pedestrian orientation and 44 relationship to the primary street that is compatible with the adjacent COR-1 subdistrict.The 45 COR-2 subdistrict is further defined by a COR-2b subdistrictthat allows for additional flexibility 46 in allowing larger-scale retail that is intended to anchor the development and support the 47 mixed-uses within the development. 48 3) COR-3 e1nd GOR 3e workplace subdistrict. The workplace area is intended to accommodate 49 medical and technology-related office and research uses, as well as other office uses and Page 90 of 160
