MIXED-USE B/COMMERCIAL

DESCRIPTION

This form facilitates the mixing of commercial, office and
potentially residential uses within one structure. Mixed-
Use B/Commercial also accommodates commercial
or office uses as sole uses within a single building. It is
characterized by generous ground floor heights, active
ground floor uses (such as shops or offices). In many
cases, office or residential components are included
on upper floors with the ground floor dedicated to
retail uses. Entries are typically clearly demarcated
for individual components of a building, like common
residential entries or storefronts. Ground floors are highly
articulated and exhibit high percentages of transparency.
Internal circulation is critical to connecting uses within
the building and elevators are widely used where multiple
stories exist. Parking for residents and office and retail
employees in this building form is typically aggregated
in adjacent surface parking lots or structured garages.
This building form exhibits a high number of visitors and
shopping patrons, which makes high-turnover, on-street
parking critical.

Permitted in Areas 6 & 7
