Key to Permitted Uses

P = Permitted

N = Not Permitted

C = Conditional Use

*Subject to the provisions of BDC 2.7.4260.E.

**Subject to special standards for certain uses as described in BDC Chapter 3.6, except as otherwise set forth herein.

***Subject to the provisions of BDC 2.6.300, Public Facilities Zoning District (PF), Development Standards.

B. Commercial Development Standards. Except as otherwise modified herein, all uses in the commercial districts within the Stevens Ranch Master Plan are subject to the standards at BDC 2.2.400 through 2.2.700.

C. Height Bonus. Inclusion of the features listed below allow additional building height as an incentive for certain uses or site designs that provide a public or community benefit. For each feature incorporated into a project, in addition to any such features otherwise required, a 10-foot height bonus will be granted. This height bonus is in addition to existing exceptions for inclusion of residential uses in BDC 2.2.400(B) and incentives for affordable housing in BDC 3.6.200(C). Height bonuses, exceptions, and other incentives can be combined so long as the building height does not exceed 75 feet.

1. Usable Open Space or Plaza. For each square foot of open space or plaza provided for public use, three square feet of building footprint is eligible for a 10-foot height bonus. For example, establishing a 2,000-square-foot plaza would allow 10 additional feet of height over 6,000 square feet of floor area or 20 additional feet over 3,000 square feet of floor area. To qualify for this bonus, the following requirements must be met:

a. The open space or plaza must be at least 2,000 square feet in area and located in the CG Zone within the Stevens Ranch Master Planned Development.

b. Plazas must be at least 10 feet in width with a building facade on at least one side.

c. No more than 33 percent of the area of any plaza may include outdoor seating, displays, or other uses associated with abutting businesses.

d. Open space and plazas must provide portable or permanent seating – in addition to any associated with abutting businesses – such as cafe tables, benches, movable chairs, or edges along landscape planters or other design elements.

e. Open spaces and plazas must be open to the public from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., at a minimum, and hours must be indicated on signage permitted under BC Chapter 9.50.

2. Pedestrian Cover. Canopy covering at least 50 percent of the linear footage of abutting public sidewalk or other pedestrian facilities. The canopy must be a permanent architectural element projecting out from the building over a pedestrian facility. The canopy must project out from the building at least five feet. Canopy coverage of at least 80 percent grants a 20-foot height bonus.

1. The commercial portion of the building must be at least 50 percent of the floor area, excluding any garage.

2. Live/work townhomes must meet the requirements in BDC 2.7.4250(K)(2) through (4).

1. Stand-alone residential uses, including live/work townhome dwelling units, that are not a part of a mixed-use development must meet the following standards:

a. Location. Residential uses that are not part of a mixed-use development shall be located interior to the commercial district and shall not front on the public streets shown on the Master Plan, apart from public streets that separate CG and CL zoned land from land zoned RS and RM, which may have residential uses that are not part of a mixed-use development along their frontage. Residential uses that are not part of a mixed-use development must not utilize more than 50 percent of the commercial land within any blocks formed by public or private streets.

b. Density. The minimum residential density standards of the RH Zone apply. There is no maximum density.

c. Design Standards. These standards are in addition to the regulations of BDC Chapter 4.2, Minimum Development Standards Review, Site Plan Review and Design Review, but replace the design standards of the CG zoning district and all the standards in BDC 3.6.200(D), Townhomes, BDC 3.6.200(H), Duplex, Triplex and Quadplex Development and BDC 3.6.200(I), Residential Uses within Commercial Districts.
