DESCRIPTION
The T5 Town Center district consists of higher density mixed use buildings that accommodates retail, offices, row houses, and apartments. It has a tight network of streets designed to accommodate all modes of travel, with wide sidewalks to encourage active ground-floor uses such as restaurants and cafes, steady street tree planting, on-street parking and buildings set close to the sidewalks. This district is dense, with 1 to 4 story buildings and full build out of lots. Buildings may or may not have off-street parking located behind them.
PURPOSE
- To accommodate attached, mixed use buildings within the Town Center that provide local and regional access to commercial uses.
- To promote housing on the upper floors of mixed-use buildings.
- To provide the community with a predictable outcome from development and redevelopment.
