Land use activity in this category is intended for what is considered the downtown area of the city with associated commercial activity that can be accessed by pedestrians as well as the motoring public. Density is considered high and design issues relate to on-street U.S. highway corridor improvements, including efficient off-street parking, landscaping and pedestrian mobility to and from local businesses. Residential activity is appropriate in this area particularly at second or third story levels, above offices or commercial shops.
