use centers (TC-A-2 through A-5). These purposes are accomplished by: a. Providing, in the TC-A-1 sub-zone, for a pedestrian- oriented mix of retail, office, residential, and civic uses that functions as the focal point for the Town Center and the City. This sub-zone emphasizes pedestrian- oriented retail and civic uses on the ground floor of core areas and has the greatest allocation of retail floor area of all the Town Center’s mixed-use zones. Office and residential uses are encouraged on upper floors; b. Providing, in the TC-A-2 and A-3 sub-zones, for a pedestrian-oriented mix of residential, office, and public uses in a village type setting. Retail uses are allowed as a complementary use; c. Providing, in the TC-A-4 and A-5 sub-zones, for a pedestrian-oriented mix of retail and residential uses in a village-type setting. Office uses are allowed; d. Requiring unified zone development planning as part of the permit review process to ensure coordinated development consistent with Town Center Plan goals and policies; e. Providing for a minimum residential development intensity to support the goal of creating a vibrant and walkable mixed-use environment; f. Providing for maximum residential and commercial development intensities consistent with the planned level of infrastructure improvements and community design goals (subject to subsections 1.a., b., and c. of this section); and
g. Providing development standards that achieve the Town Center Plan’s design goals and policies for a vibrant and distinctive urban environment that functions as a focal point for the Town Center and the City and is sensitive to the natural environment. 2. Use of this zone is appropriate for lands designated by the Comprehensive Plan and Town Center Plan as Town Center A-1 through A-5.
D. Mixed residential zone (TC-B)
1. The purpose of the mixed residential (TC-B) sub-zone is to implement Town Center Plan goals and policies by providing for areas with a mixture of housing types that support the desired activities of adjacent mixed-use zones. These purposes are accomplished by: a. Providing for a mixture of apartments, townhomes, and limited cottage housing and detached single-family uses; b. Providing the opportunity for commercial uses for those areas adjacent to TC-A zones provided the subject property is developed as part of a unified zone development plan with contiguous TC-A zoned properties; and c. Providing development standards that achieve the Town Center Plan’s design goals and policies for an attractive mix of housing types that is well connected to the mixed-use zones and preserves sensitive natural areas as an amenity to development.
