1 the highest architectural and design standards to encourage pedestrian mobility and street 2 activity. In order to contribute to an active pedestrian environment, each block within the COR- 3 1 subdistrict shall include at least two of the following uses: commercial, office, civic and/or 4 residential use. 5 (2) COR-2 (COR-2a and 2b) commercial subdistrict. The COR-2 commercial subdistrict is 6 designated to provide a location for retail commercial that has building and/or site designs 7 inconsistent with the COR-1 subdistrict, including larger scale retail and other auto -oriented 8 commercial uses. Such uses tend to benefit from direct highway access and good visibility, and 9 may have market areas that extend beyond the community. These commercial and auto- 10 oriented uses shall be clustered in compact identifiable areas and not present the look of typical 11 strip suburban development. Buildings shall be designed with a pedestrian orientation and 12 relationship to the primary street that is compatible with the adjacent COR-1 subdistrict. The 13 COR-2 subdistrict is further defined by a COR-2b subdistrict that allows for additional 14 flexibility in allowing larger -scale retail that is intended to anchor the development and support 15 the mixed -uses within the development. 16 (3) COR-3 workplace subdistrict. The workplace area is intended to accommodate medical and 17 technology -related office and research uses, as well as other office uses and ancillary retail and 18 service uses designed to support serve employees and office visitors. Uses with high 19 concentrations of employees are most desirable. 20 (4) COR-4 (COR-4a, COR-4b and COR-4c) neighborhood subdistrict. The neighborhood 21 subdistrict is intended to include a full range of housing types, from small -lot single-family 22 detached to high -density senior and general apartments, as well as a limited number of small- 23 scale retail and office uses at appropriate locations (i.e., at corners). Neighborhood design 24 incorporates many traditional single-family neighborhood features such as alleys, carriage 25 houses (secondary units), front porches, and traditional street lighting. Neighborhoods shall be 26 designed with suitable transitions between different housing types, and with well -integrated 27 open space and natural amenities within walking distance of all homes. Traditional 28 neighborhood design of streets, sidewalks and paths provide easy pedestrian mobility 29 throughout the subdistrict. Protection of natural areas and corridors that link the natural 30 environment to everyday life is emphasized in this area. The COR-4 subdistrict is further 31 defined into three categories according to the residential net density: 32 a. The COR-4a subdistrict is the lowest density area in the COR-4 district allowing up to 33 ten dwelling units per acre. 34 b. The COR-4b subdistrict is the medium density area in the COR-4 district allowing up to 35 15 dwelling units per acre. This area is located along higher volume roadways within the 36 COR and along its perimeter. 37 c. The COR-4c subdistrict shall provide the highest densities in the COR-4 District 38 requiring a minimum of 15 dwelling units per acre. This area is adjacent to the mixed- 39 use core. 40 41 (5) General development standards. All development within the COR district shall meet the COR 42 Development Framework that is incorporated into this chapter by reference, as amended by the city 43 council on November 27, 2012. These standards will be used by the city as the minimum requirements 44 for evaluating development proposals and site plans. However, the standards are not intended to 45 restrict creativity in design. An applicant may request modification or waiver of any standard in favor 46 of an alternate approach that will achieve the same design objective. Development standards set forth 47 in this section (600-699) shall supersede those set forth in in the Development Framework. 48 49 611-619 Reserved. 50 51 620 Uses Attachment A — Ordinance #23-14 Page 79 of 141
