A. Purpose. This chapter establishes standards for the Evergreen/Grand Corridor Overlay District (“Corridor”) in order to ensure new development contributes to achieving the goals of the Evergreen/Grand Corridor strategy (“strategy”) as follows:
1. Strengthen current businesses while providing an appropriate mix of commercial and residential uses.
2. Establish a balanced, multimodal network of motor vehicle, transit, walking, and biking routes through the corridors.
3. Provide adequate parking to serve existing uses and future development.
4. Create public and private spaces that are inclusive, integrated, and contribute positively to the livability of the corridors.
5. Provide ample opportunities for small-scale, locally owned businesses to thrive.
6. Contribute to a vibrant public realm that encourages interaction with an active edge along the ground floor, high-quality public spaces, and a walkable pedestrian environment.
B. This chapter is not intended to prevent continued use, repair or modest expansion of lawfully existing buildings, or to render otherwise lawful development as nonconforming. (Ord. M-4423 § 2 (Att.), 2023)
