<br />Midtown Specific Plan <br /> <br />. Mid-block pedestrian street crossings are not encouraged. All <br />pedestrian movements will be directed to approved crosswalks. <br /> <br />. Enhance the pedestrian scale of the Eleventh and Fourteenth <br />Street mid-block pedestrian ways between Main and Sycamore by <br />encouraging retail activities and landscaping along their edges. <br /> <br />. Provide safe, convenient and pleasant walkways linking <br />surrounding residential areas to Midtown activity districts. <br />These east-west connections include Washington, and Fifteenth <br />Streets to the west, and Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Washington, <br />Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and Sixteenth Streets to the east. <br /> <br />CIRCULATION <br /> <br />. Maintain Broadway and Main as strong, visually attractive <br />business corridors while making sure that their ability to safely <br />carry high traffic volumes is maintained. <br /> <br />. Maintain the function of Washington Street, Civic Center Drive, and <br />Seventeenth Street as east-west connectors. <br /> <br />. Develop land use and design strategies for incorporating a <br />proposed fixed guideway rail mass transit system through <br />Midtown, including possible alignments. <br /> <br />. Protect Bush Street from heavy business and residential traffic in <br />order to maintain its residential character. <br /> <br />LAND USE/ACTIVITY DISTRICTS <br /> <br />Midtown will provide for a wide variety of uses organized into five <br />land use districts. These districts were first identified as part of the <br />initial conceptual planning for Midtown, and have been refined <br />through additional area analysis. (See Exhibit 7, Midtown Districts.) <br />Each is intended to be distinct from the other, but supportive of the <br />whole area by contributing to a balance of commercial, public, office <br />and other employment activities. <br /> <br />The following six chapters define each district according to its theme, <br />objectives, land uses or activities, physical framework, site attributes, <br />development opportunities, development standards, and design <br />guidelines. Property lines shown on exhibits are based on assessor <br />parcel maps and do not necessarily reflect legal parcels. <br /> <br />22 <br /> <br />.J <br />....< <br />- wz <br />» wo <br />1::1- £%:(j) <br />z.J I-cn <br />:::Ic:(..J cnw <br />:¡:-- XLI. <br />:¡:oc:( cno <br />o~1:ü :::I£%: <br />ocn£%: . mil. <br />!
