58 <br /> <br />pedestrian orientation and relationship to the primary street. The TC-2a Sub- <br />District provides an alternative location for smaller auto-oriented commercial uses <br />located along County Roads at the periphery of the Town Center. Specifically, the <br />TC-2a areas will be located at intersections of County Roads. <br /> <br />Workplace Sub-District - "TC-3." The Workplace Sub-District is intended to <br />accommodate medical and technology-related office and research and <br />development uses, as well as other office uses and limited retail and service uses <br />designed to serve employees and office visitors. Office uses shall be located <br />within one-quarter mile of existing or planned retail uses and all uses shall be <br />located within one-quarter mile of public open space, or within one-half mile if <br />connected by walking path. <br /> <br />Neighborhood Sub-District - "TC-4." The Neighborhood Sub-District <br />comprises the northern portion of the Town Center District. The Sub-District is <br />intended to include a full range of housing types, from small-lot single-family <br />detached to high- density senior and general apartments, as well as a limited <br />number of small-scale retail and office uses at appropriate locations (i.e., at <br />intersections). Neighborhood design incorporates many traditional single-family <br />neighborhood features such as alleys, carriage houses (secondary units), front <br />porches, and traditional street lighting. In this district housing units shall be <br />located within one-quarter mile of existing or planned public open space and shall <br />be located within one-quarter mile of existing or planned neighborhoo&serVing <br />retail uses. <br /> <br />Park and Open Space Sub-District - "TC-5." The Pm'lc and Open Space Sub- <br />District is intended to preserve environmental features, provide amenities and <br />create focal points and community gathering places within easy access of all areas <br />of the Town Center. A minimum of 10 percent of the gross acreage of the Town <br />Center shall consist of open space that is improved for public use. This open <br />space may be located within any Sub-District. Areas designated within the TC-5 <br />Sub-District, however, are restricted from other types of development, with the <br />exception of certain civic uses. <br /> <br />The Town Center District has been written to provide flexibility in how the Town Center <br />is developed. Instead of permitted uses, the codes outlines prohibited uses; instead of <br />setbacks the code identifies building envelopes; instead of density maximums, the Town <br />Center district dictates density minimums. The Town Center District also ties the <br />development to the Town Center Development Guidelines, a set of standards-that will <br />govern architectural treatments, building orientation, acceptable exterior materials and <br />other design related issues. <br /> <br />The Town Center Zoning District also governs the use of signs in the Town Center by <br />regulating the size, type, and location of signs in the Town Center. <br /> <br />Parking requirements are also addressed in the Town Center Zoning District. The Town <br />Center District outlines some minimum standards and encourages the use of shared <br />parking. More importantly, the new code requires that a parking plan be submitted as part <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />! <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />i <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
