A. Specific Purposes. The Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Overlay Districts are intended to:

B. Specific Purposes of Each District. There are two Transit-Oriented Development Overlay Districts:

A. Allowed Uses. Table 18.70.020.A states the land use regulations for the TOD-1 and TOD-2 Districts. The regulations for each district are established by letter designations listed below. These designations apply strictly to the permissibility of land uses; applications for buildings or structures may require development review permit or design review. Use classifications not listed in the table are prohibited.

“P” designates uses permitted as-of-right that require no discretionary review if all applicable standards are met.

“A” designates uses permitted as-of-right subject to limitations on location, size or other characteristics to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses. Limitations are referenced by letter designations and listed at the bottom of the table.

“C” designates uses that may be permitted following review and approval of a use permit.

“X” designates uses that are not permitted.

The “Additional Regulations” column notes additional regulations that apply to particular land uses, including sections of Chapter 18.120 MCC, Standards for Specific Uses.

B. Required Ground Floor Uses. Within the TOD Overlay Districts, buildings and parking structures shall be designed and constructed for occupancy of at least 50 percent of the ground-floor building frontage facing any street or transit station with one or more of the uses listed below. Such uses shall occupy a minimum depth of 50 feet. On corner lots, this requirement must be met on each street-facing facade. The following uses shall be on the ground floor:

A. Minimum Building Frontage. Street-facing facades of new buildings and building additions must be located at or within the maximum allowed setback for the minimum proportion of the street frontage stated in Table 18.70.030. The minimum building frontage requirement does not apply to parks and plazas.

B. Orientation of Main Building Entrance. At least one primary entry of each building shall face or be oriented to within 45 degrees of parallel to the street frontage, to any adjacent transit station, or to a public plaza. Such entrance(s) must allow pedestrians to both enter and exit the building and must remain unlocked during business hours.

C. Building Transparency/Required Openings. Exterior walls facing a front or street side property line shall include windows, doors, or other openings for at least 50 percent of the building wall area located between three and seven feet above the level of the sidewalk. On upper floors, windows shall occupy at least 15 percent of building wall area. No wall may run in a continuous plane for more than 20 feet without an opening. Openings fulfilling this requirement shall have transparent glazing and provide views into work areas, sales areas, lobbies, or similar active spaces, or into window displays that are at least three feet deep. They shall not provide views into parking or vehicle circulation areas.

D. Architectural Articulation. The decision-making authority may approve or conditionally approve a development review permit application only if it finds that buildings include adequate design features to create architectural interest and avoid a large-scale, bulky or “box-like” appearance. Large buildings should appear to be divided into smaller modules. Different ways that this finding may be met include, but are not limited to, those listed below.

E. Setbacks for Residential Uses. In order to provide light and air for residential units, the following minimum setbacks apply to any building wall containing windows to living space and facing an interior side or rear yard, on second or higher stories:

F. Driveways and Curb Cuts. On lots less than 100 feet in width, driveways and curb cuts shall be limited to one per frontage; shared drives and cross access between private properties are encouraged. On wider lots, driveways shall be limited to one per 100 feet of frontage. The maximum width of any single driveway shall be 25 feet. On corner lots, curb cuts shall be located on the street frontage with the least pedestrian activity. Exceptions may be granted with a use permit for uses that have greater circulation requirements.

G. Improvement of Street-Facing Setbacks. Where a front or street-facing side setback is provided, it must be landscaped and/or hard-surfaced for use by pedestrians. If hard-surfaced, the setback area on each lot must contain at least two pedestrian amenities, such as benches, drinking fountains, and/or other design elements (public art, planters, and kiosks). Residential buildings are exempt from this requirement.

H. Landscaping. In addition to the landscaping standards in Chapter 18.90 MCC, Landscaping, the following standards shall apply:

I. Lighting. Freestanding light fixtures shall not exceed a height of 16 feet. Exterior lighting shall provide for a secure nighttime pedestrian environment by reinforcing entrances, public sidewalks and open areas with a safe level of illumination that avoids off-site glare.

Outdoor seating for restaurants and pedestrian-oriented accessory uses, such as flower, food, or drink stands, and retail sales from a cart, are exempt from this requirement.

L. Parking. Parking shall be provided according to the requirements of Chapter 18.105 MCC, On-Site Parking and Loading, except as modified by this section.

6. Screening. All surface parking spaces visible from a public right-of-way shall be screened with a wall at least three feet and not to exceed three and one-half feet in height.

M. Parking for Bicycles.

N. Pedestrian Access and Circulation. On-site pedestrian circulation and access must be provided according to the following standards:

O. Shading of Sidewalks. Development directly abutting a sidewalk or pedestrian way shall provide structured shading. Shading shall be provided for the entire length of the building. A minimum of 50 percent of the length of the building should be shaded with methods such as awnings and arcades. (Canopies, awnings, porticoes, pedestrian arcades and similar shade-bearing features that are used to meet this standard may be allowed to encroach in the public right-of-way, subject to an encroachment permit.) The remaining sidewalk shall be shaded with structures or other methods including landscaping. Shading shall be positioned to shade the sidewalk from April 15th through September 30th. Where landscaping is used, trees shall be a minimum two-inch caliper at time of planting.

P. Truck Docks, Loading, and Service Areas. Truck docks, loading, and service areas shall be located at the side of buildings or in the rear of the site and screened so as not to be visible from public streets. Where a building abuts a residential district, the preferred location of these facilities shall be the side away from the residential district boundary.

Q. Right-of-Way Improvements.

A. The purpose of the Mixed Use-Heritage Overlay District is to:

B. More specifically, this overlay district is intended to allow for the transformation of the Heritage District into a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented, mixed use neighborhood, consistent with the Redevelopment Area Plan, the Heritage District Design Guidelines, and mixed use development standards. The adaptive reuse of existing buildings for residential and commercial uses is supported with a focus on active home based businesses, storefronts and, where viable, upper-floor residences and pedestrian- and transit-oriented development that encourages pedestrian activity and connectivity to adjacent areas. New construction will be designed to be compatible with the Heritage District Design Guidelines in terms of size, scale, materials, and details, and a broad range of residential and commercial uses is allowed. Standards will create high-quality building design, ensure compatibility in land use and building form, and support mixed commercial and residential uses.
