Desired Outcomes: •More amenities closer to where people live •More mixed-use in transit corridors and around transit stations Topics to Examine: •Parking Requirements •Incentives for transit-supportive development 15 What Else? Mixed-Employment Place Types Draft Guiding Principle: Create resilient commercial and employment centers that are adaptable to future needs LUC Diagnostic Findings: The LUC Does not support Future Place Types Mixed-Employment Place Type 16 15 16 LAND USE CODE PHASE 2 UPDATE Packet Pg. 10 Mixed-Employment Place Types Draft Guiding Principle: Create resilient commercial and employment centers that are adaptable to future needs. Desired Outcomes: •A more diverse mix of uses integrated within existing employment centers (like multi-family housing, other amenities) •Reduce vehicle miles traveled and support GHG reduction goals Topics to Examine: •Explore existing impediments in zoning or code standards (for example, recalibration of primary and secondary uses in employment zones) 17 What Else? Draft Guiding Principle: Create better form standards for greater predictability along transit investment corridors. Better Form Standards = Greater Predictability Updated Standards that are in line with the values and desires of the community can rely less on time-consuming negotiated processes, provide more equitable access to opportunity, and result in better, more predictable outcomes for everyone. Long, multistep processes do not compensate for ineffective base code standards or guarantee better outcomes. They often lead to even greater frustration since the negotiation begins with inadequate standards and approval criteria. 18 17 18 LAND USE CODE PHASE 2 UPDATE Packet Pg. 11 Draft Guiding Principle: Create better form standards for greater predictability along transit investment corridors. Desired Outcomes: •Form standards that yield better design and more predictability •Improved pedestrian and multi-modal connections between residential and commercial areas Topics to Examine: •Form-based standards for non-residential structures •Standards that focus on public realm, pedestrian/multimodal site design and orientation •Multimodal connectivity (trail/walkway connections) 19 What Else? Draft Guiding Principle: Improve predictability of the Development Review Process, especially to support small business owners. LUC Diagnostic Findings: The LUC Does not support Future Place Types Equitable Process: Clearly defined expectations lower the “entry point” for development, opens the door for local, small businesses. 20 19 20 LAND USE CODE PHASE 2 UPDATE Packet Pg. 12 Draft Guiding Principle: Improve predictability of the Development Review Process, especially to support small business owners.
