REGIONAL TOWN CENTER ZONE STANDARDS
Sections:

Prior legislation: Ord. 27-2008.
23.510.010 Purpose.
The purpose of this zone is to provide locations for regional-serving retail, office, and residential uses that provide a vibrant mixed-use setting that fosters positive day and nighttime activity. Development may feature dynamic taller buildings and building complexes (over four stories in height) that are scaled appropriately to create a comfortable pedestrian environment and be compatible with adjacent neighborhoods. Mixed-use development is required and can be designed horizontally or vertically. Design characteristics include public plazas and other gathering places, open storefronts with expansive windows, and a rich mix of uses and tenants. Centers will be designed to provide connections into the surrounding neighborhoods and located to provide easy access to automobiles and public transportation from across the region. [Ord. 4-2017 § 3 (Exh. B)].
