CORRIDOR VISION AND FRAMEWORK PLAN

Corridor Framework

Promotes an integrated approach to land

use, transportation, and greenways

through:

• Focused activity centers

• Balanced, market-based mix of uses

• Range of housing types for a variety of

demographics

• More complete multi-modal transportation

framework

Design Principles

3 Focus Areas

• Site Planning

• Building Design and Character

• Sustainable Development

Provide Policy Foundation

for Corridor Overlay



Plan Implementation—Recommended Actions

1. Establish a Clear, Flexible Regulatory

Framework

2. Target Infrastructure Improvements in

Priority Locations

3. Establish a Tailored Approach to

Required Stream Buffers

4. Implement Citywide Livable Streets Policy

5. Employ Broad Market Strategies

COMPACT DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS

Intent: Encourage balanced mix of land uses, promote a mix of housing types and dwelling unit sizes, encourage compact growth, reduce the land area within a development devoted to surface parking, and design parking facilities to minimize adverse environmental impacts to pedestrians.

Vertical Mixed-Use

Include a vertical mix of the following use types: residential, office, commercial, or public/institutional.

At least 2 use types (15 pts).

At least 3 use types (20 pts).

20

Mix of Housing Types

Project includes a mix of two or more housing types (accessory dwelling unit such as a loft or granny flat), single-family detached, single-family detached, duplex, patio homes, multifamily, or apartment) and units with a variety in the number of bedrooms per dwelling unit.

At least 20% of dwelling units is of a type other than the primary housing type (2 pts). An additional point may be granted for each additional 20% of dwelling units of an additional housing type up to 4 pts.

At least 20% of dwelling units contain a number of bedrooms that is more or less than the number of bedrooms provided in the primary dwelling unit configuration (2 pts). An additional point may be granted for each additional 10% where the number of bedrooms differs, up to 4 pts.

14

Redevelopment Project provides non-residential redevelopment. 5

Compact Development / Walkability

At least 50 percent of dwelling units are located within a mixed-use development, or within one-quarter mile of a mixed-use development.
