<br /> (a) Purpose. This section establishes the zones applied to propertywithin the plan p'~ ~ L
<br /> area by the Regulating Plan. The Regulating Plan divides the plan area into ~ ~ _
<br /> separate zones that are based on a transect of intensity within the plan area w I - ~ -
<br /> that ranges from the most urban types of development and land use to the ~ ~I
<br /> least urban types, with most zones providing for a significant mixture of land ~ ~I I ~-r ~ ~ ~ ~ 3 ~
<br /> uses within them. " ~ UUU CCC ~~IJ_J r T~ ~L a -
<br /> This approach differs from conventional zoning maps that typically divide cities %L~~~ _ ~ m ~
<br /> into zones that rigidly segregate residential, commercial, industrial, and institu- ~ ~ - ~ I ~ 0RTN5T
<br /> tional uses into separate areas, and thereby require residents to drive for nearly J ~ W ~ Imo-
<br /> all daily activities. The use of zones based on development intensity (instead L~ I L J~~,~ J~ ~ Tp~
<br /> of land use zones) as the spatial basis for regulating development, directly ~„r~r-~ r~i ` °T sT _ ~ ~ ~ ~
<br /> reflects the functions of, and interrelationshi s between, each art of the Ian ~ ~J -
<br /> area. The zones also effectively implement the City's urban design object es I ~a~ ~~i °0 ST U~."s, ~ ~ -
<br /> for each part of the plan area, to establish and maintain attractive distinctions ~ u ~~a~ ~ ~ m,- r ~ -
<br /> between each zone. This is why some parcels are zoned with more than one ~I I, ~ II~a, I J IL~ ~ ~ 3
<br /> zone. In such cases, the zoning is divided along a clear boundary such as the ~J '-r
<br /> middle of a block.
<br /> The zones of this Regulating Plan allocate architectural types, frontage types, _ J ~ L~ ~ ~Q~
<br /> and land uses within the plan area, as well as providing detailed standards for - - aoa ~
<br /> building placement, height and profile. The diagram to the right identifies the ,
