EIR No. 2014 -01, GPA No. 2014 -02 ZOA No. 2014 -01 & AA No. 2014 -01 August 25, 2010 Page 5 into separate zones that are based on intensity that range from the most intense development and land use types to the least intense, with most zones providing for a significant mixture of land uses within them. Like the Transit Zoning Code, the Harbor Corridor Plan zones are based on development intensity (instead of land use zones and density) as the basis for regulating development. The Harbor Corridor Plan would allow for mixed -use development with an emphasis on residential and commercial uses that would allow development to occur per the following zone designations: ■ Transit Node (TN) District — This district is intended to provide standards for compact, transit - supportive, mixed -use and residential development with a focus on creating pedestrian activity on the street. With direct access to three BRT stations and proximity to a future fixed guideway station, this district allows for a wide range of building types including mixed use flex block, stacked flats, court yard housing, and live -work units. This district accommodates shops, restaurants and active commercial uses at the street level, with office and residential on the upper floors. The district allows for a variety of non - residential uses and a mix of housing types at medium to high intensities and densities, ranging in height from a minimum of three stories to six stories. ■ Corridor (CDR) District — This district is proposed for properties along Harbor Boulevard between BRT stations and intended to provide housing options and neighborhood serving uses within walking distance of a transit node. Mixed —use and non - residential projects are centered on key intersections, with residential and public /quasi - public uses as infill at mid -block locations. Building types include lined block, stacked flats, courtyard housing, row houses, and tuck -under units. Allowable building height would be between two to four stories. a Neighborhood Transitional (NT) District — This district provides standards for development that acts as a transition between single family residential neighborhoods to the north and south of First and Fifth Streets and the Corridor and Transit Node districts. Intended for the lowest scale of uses in the Harbor Corridor Plan, development is limited to residential, live -work or neighborhood serving commercial uses. Typical building height would be two to three stories. ■ Open Space (OS) District — This district identifies areas reserved for community parks and other open spaces. Allowable structures in this zone are limited to those necessary to support the specific purposes of the particular open space area such as sport -court enclosures and multi- purpose buildings in active parks, and trails. Other highlights of the Harbor Corridor Plan standards include the concept of reduced onsite parking requirement near transit hubs, and design features that promote pedestrian and bicycle friendly environments. Finally, the code establishes detailed development standards for building and parking location, building massing and open space, and regulates other architectural 75B -7
