• 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS
•
• A. Purpose and Intent
• The purpose and intent of the US 19 Corridor District is to
• guide the development and redevelopment of sites along
• the US 19 corridor consistent with strategies defined in
the US 19 Corridor Redevelopment Plan. The standards
• are designed to accomplish the following:
• • Promote more employment -intensive and transit-
• supportive development
• • Establish walkable, mixed use destinations at major
cross streets; and
• • Provide safe, attractive, and accessible settings for
• working, living, and shopping.
• B. Relation to the Community
• Development Code
• The standards and regulations provided below
• supplement the general development standards and
requirements in Articles 3 and 4 of the Community
• Development Code (CDC).
•
• C. Regulating Plan
• 1) General
• Development within the US 19 Corridor District is
• regulated by Subdistrict and Street Frontage Type as
shown in Figure 1 and described below.
• 2) Subdistricts
• Standards and regulations apply to properties falling
• within one of three Subdistricts defined in the US 19
• Redevelopment Plan and described below. Boundaries of
• the Subdistricts are illustrated in Figure 1.
• a. The Regional Center Subdistrict is applied to areas
along US 19 planned to develop with a more urban
• character defined by taller, mixed use buildings aligned
• along walkable streets. Standards are designed to create
• more transit -supportive development densities and
intensities, pedestrian -friendly streets and building
• frontages, and better connections among destinations.
• b. The Neighborhood Center Subdistrict is applied to
• areas along US 19 planned to serve as local shopping
and employment destinations. Standards are designed
•
to create more pedestrian -friendly streets and building
• frontages, and better connections among destinations.
•
•
•
•
US 19 CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
c. The Corridor Subdistrict is applied to areas along US
19 without direct access to interchanges. In these areas,
a wide range of employment -intensive uses is favored
over small-scale retail uses, and development character
is reinforced through the application of consistent front
setback and landscape requirements.

3. SITE DESIGN STANDARDS
A. General
Projects shall be designed to maximize pedestrian
mobility and connectivity between adjacent destinations;
improve connections to public sidewalks and transit
stops; and minimize the visual impact of parking, loading,
and other vehicular use areas.
B. Sites Over 20 Acres
The site design standards in the following section apply
to the development and redevelopment of sites over 20
acres.
1) Streets & Drives
Projects shall be designed with networks of pedestrian -
friendly streets and drives designed to support local
vehicle travel, walking and biking, transit service,
and connections to surrounding neighborhoods and
destinations. Streets and drives shall be designed
consistent with the standards in Table 2. Design
Standards for New Streets & Drives.
2) Block Structure
Sites shall be divided by streets and drives into
development blocks scaled to accommodate buildings,
public spaces, and off-street parking and service
Table 2. Design Standards for New Streets & Drives
areas as generally illustrated in Figure 12. Perimeter
block dimensions shall average 1,600 linear feet with
maximum allowances of 2,000 linear feet. Perimeter block
dimensions up to 3,000 linear feet may be permitted for
blocks that contain mid -block parking lots or parking
structures connected to public sidewalks by pedestrian
walkways.
3) Site Design
Projects shall be designed with street and drive
networks and infrastructure configurations that
allow for development intensification over time. For
example, projects should be designed with stormwater
conveyance systems, sewer and water lines, and electrical
and communication lines located along streets and
drives so that parking areas may accommodate future
development.
4) Publicly Accessible Open Space
[NOTE: The following section is being reviewed by the Legal
and Parks & Recreation Departments, within the context of
existing recreational impact fees. ]
In lieu of paying Open Space/Recreation Impact Fees,
applicants may comply with the requirements below.
a. A minimum of 10 percent of the site area in the
Regional Center and Neighborhood Center Subdistricts
Street Type
Design Standards
New Primary Streets
• Two-way streets with on -street parallel or angle parking, a minimum 5 -foot -wide landscape/
hardscape strip and a continuous pedestrian zone with an 8' min. wide unobstructed sidewalk.
• On -street parking areas may be interrupted to allow for curb extensions to create space for
landscaping, pedestrian amenities, and transit stops.
• Landscape/hardscape strips shall be improved with shade trees in grates or landscape beds,
outdoor seating, pedestrian -scale lighting, and other amenities.
New Side Streets & Drives
• Two-way streets designed with a minimum 5 -foot -wide landscape strip with shade trees
between curbs and sidewalks, and a continuous pedestrian zone with an 6' min. wide
unobstructed sidewalk.
• May include on -street parallel parking, landscaped medians, bike lanes, and other features
that result in curb -to -curb dimensions wider than those permitted for new primary streets.
Alleys & Service Lanes
• Alleys and service lanes, should be used to provide midblock access to parking or service area
and should be designed with two-way, paved travel lanes for vehicular traffic and a minimum
5 -foot -wide clear zone on either side of travel lanes to accommodate sufficient vehicle back-
out space.
