23.08.020    Boundaries of the overlay district.

23.08.010 Options for development within the district.

The North Avenue zoning overlay establishes mandatory standards, “opt-in” standards, and a point system for specific site upgrades. Any and all property development within the district must adhere to the mandatory standards, and in addition must choose among the following three options:

(a)    Follow all of the opt-in standards;

(b)    Develop according to the “base” zone standards; or

(c)    Upgrade a site using the point system.

The mandatory standards of the overlay zone establish the right-of-way width and streetscape features for the corridor. The opt-in standards include incentives which relax some of the base-zone standards (landscaping requirements, for example) in exchange for meeting specified standards which will shape the desired character of the built environment. The point system allows a landowner to improve the site in specific ways which will help create the desired character of the built environment and provides framework for distribution of financial incentives that may become available. (The overlay zone does not establish those financial incentives, but merely establishes a point system for accessing such funds if and when they become available.)
