§ 38-1390.12. Land use districts.

Each of the districts authorized by the Comprehensive Plan is described generally on the following pages to provide an overview of the purpose and scope of each district.

(a)

Urban Residential District. The Urban Residential District reflects the character and quality of a traditional neighborhood, and includes a mix of attached and detached housing, civic uses, neighborhood parks and recreational facilities. A limited number of sites appropriate for neighborhood scale commercial and office use may be included within this district to provide close-to-home opportunities for neighborhood residents to purchase convenience goods and services. The typical street and block pattern is fully interconnected to accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists and motor vehicles, and the pedestrian and bike trail systems are linked to the APF bike and recreational trail system of the Town Center.

(b)

Corporate Campus Mixed-Use District. The Corporate Campus Mixed-Use District includes a mix of detached single-family and attached housing, office, hotel, limited warehouse and associated light industrial uses, and civic, open space and recreation uses. Limited support retail uses may be allowed, which is consistent with the location, design, and compatibility standards described within the Town Center land development code, either as ancillary uses within buildings where the primary use is office or residential or in freestanding buildings. Within Corporate Campus Mixed-Use Districts, office uses will dominate and the residential development will be of a higher density than Urban Residential Districts.

(c)

Corporate Neighborhood Center District. The Corporate Neighborhood Center District is intended to provide retail and service support to and within walkable distance from the adjacent Urban Residential and Corporate Campus Mixed-Use districts. The Corporate Neighborhood Centers will provide neighborhood serving retail, service and civic activities and dwelling units may be allowed as part of mixed use buildings. This district is intended to be pedestrian-oriented.

(d)

Retail/Wholesale District. The Retail/Wholesale District is intended to accommodate regional retail business, personal services, office, warehouse and warehouse showroom uses for the Horizon West area. Transit stops and on-site parking for such stops will be incorporated in the planning for these district parcels. Attached residential uses may be allowed either as an ancillary use within buildings where the primary use is office, retail or hotel, or as a freestanding use on a site whose location was approved as part of the original approval of a PD/UNP or by substantial change request.

(e)

Traditional Town Center Core District. The Traditional Town Center Core District will serve as the civic and retail heart of Horizon West and the surrounding area. It is intended to be a vital, mixed-use center that contains a variety of residential, retail, office, hotel, civic and entertainment uses. The district will be designed as the primary pedestrian-oriented activity center of the entire Town Center Specific Area Plan. The Traditional Town Center Core District street and block system will be a grid or modified grid design, reminiscent of traditional community downtown centers, providing convenient pedestrian and vehicular access throughout the town Center. Alleys, Lanes and Standard Street types should be allowed to provide access to parking and service areas. Building fronts will have a primary orientation to streets and parks. Civic spaces and public buildings will be encouraged, designed and located as focal points throughout the Traditional Town Center Core.

(f)

Open Space District. These districts are interspersed throughout the Town Center. As depicted on the TCSAP, several of the designated areas encompass Water Conservation II lands, the existing Orange County Golf Center and two (2) former landfill sites. Other designated areas serve as a common thread that links adjacent Land Use Districts, neighborhoods, land uses and residents together, creating community character, image, and identity. In addition, Open Space Districts may include public elementary schools and other types of civic uses (such as libraries and churches) pursuant to locational, site and building design criteria included in the Town Center Code.
