1 600 Mixed Use Districts 2 3 610 Districts Established and Purpose 4 The tollowing mixed-use district and subdistricts (COR) are hereby established according their purpose 5 and the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Collectively, this district and these subdistricts are herein this 6 chapter called "mixed-use districts." 7 8 611 COR 9 (A) Purpose The primary intent of the COR district is to create a focal point in the community that 10 embodies the principles of transit-oriented and mixed-use development.The COR district envisions 11 a distinctly different development pattern, with a more urban structure of streets and blocks, than 12 the suburban and rural patterns that have shaped the community to date. The COR area is 13 comprised of a number of distinct subdistricts intended to define the type and intensity of uses, 14 location of amenities and overall character of development.The COR district incorporates the COR 15 development plan and Development Framework by reference to provide necessary building and site 16 design features that are essential to a pedestrian environment. 17 (B) Application—This district may be applied to properties guided Mixed Use as shown on the current 18 Comprehensive Plan. 19 (C) The COR subdistrict definition.The COR district consists of five four subdistricts that define the type 20 and intensity of land use. 21 (1) COR-1 mixed-use core subdistrict. The mixed-use core is intended to provide a mix of 22 residential, retail, service, professional, community service, recreational and similar uses on 23 every block near,and within easy walking distance of the transit station.The broadest variety 24 and highest intensity of uses, including high density housing and lodging facilities, are 25 encouraged near the station. Vertically-integrated mixed-use projects with retail, restaurant 26 and service uses, especially at corner locations, are strongly encouraged. This district 27 incorporates the highest architectural and design standards to encourage pedestrian mobility 28 and street activity.The majority of the uses within this district will rely on parking structures 29 to accommodate the parking needs of customers and employees. In order to contribute to an 30 active pedestrian environment, each block within the COR-1 subdistrict shall include at least 31 two of the following uses: commercial, office, civic and/or residential use. 32 (2) COR-2(COR-2 and 2b)commercial subdistrict.The COR-2 commercial subdistrict is designated 33 to provide a location for retail commercial that has building and/or site designs inconsistent 34 with the COR-1 subdistrict, including larger scale retail and other auto-oriented commercial 35 uses. Such uses tend to benefit from direct highway access and good visibility, and may have 36 market areas that extend beyond the community. These commercial and auto-oriented uses 37 shall be clustered in compact identifiable areas and not present the look of typical strip 38 suburban development. Buildings shall be designed with a pedestrian orientation and 39 relationship to the primary street that is compatible with the adjacent COR-1 subdistrict.The 40 COR-2 subdistrict is further defined by a COR-2b subdistrict that allows for additional flexibility 41 in allowing larger-scale retail that is intended to anchor the development and support the 42 mixed-uses within the development. 43 (3) COR-3 Gnd GQR-3G workplace subdistrict. The workplace area is intended to accommodate 44 medical and technology-related office and research uses, as well as other office uses and 45 ancillary retail and service uses designed to support serve employees and office visitors. Uses 46 with high concentrations of employees are most desirable. The COR-3 s bdistri7-.GTTJ-f.uFt eF 47 48 , 49 . Page 83 of 147
