CHAPTER 4 THE CODE Urban Standards Regulating Plan and Zones

Transcription

1 CHATER 4 THE CODE Urban Standards Regulating lan and Zones A. urpose. This Section establishes the zones applied to property within the Specific lan area by the Old Town Regulating lan. The Regulating lan may also be referred to by its two primary elements: the zoning map and the permitted use charts (Table 4-1). The Regulating lan divides the Specific lan area into separate zones that are based on a transect of intensity that ranges from the most urban types of development and land use within the Specific lan area to the least urban types, with most of the zones providing for a significant mixture of land uses within them. This approach differs from conventional zoning maps that typically divide cities into zones that rigidly segregate residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional uses into separate areas, and thereby require residents to drive or use public transportation for nearly all daily activities. The use of zones based on "development intensity" instead of land use zones as the spatial basis for regulating development directly reflects the functions of, and interrelationships between each part of, the Specific plan area. The zones also effectively implement the City's urban design objectives for each part of the Specific lan area, to establish and maintain attractive distinctions between each zone. The zones of this regulating plan allocate architectural types, frontage types, and land uses within the Specific lan area, as well as providing detailed standards for building placement, height and profile. B. Zones established. The following zones are established by this Specific lan, and are applied to property within the Specific an area as shown on the Regulating plan. 1. Urban General 1 (UG-1). The UG-1 zone is applied to areas appropriate for residential development and land uses at the edges of the downtown area, where the primary architectural type is the detached house on a variety of lot sizes. Streetscapes are of suburban character and the most landscaped in the Specific lan area. 2. Urban General 2 (UG-2). The UG-2 zone is applied to areas appropriate for a mixture of residential and low-intensity non-residential land uses, with architectural types limited to those that are compatible with the form of houses. This zone generally surrounds the Urban Center zone, providing a transition between the least dense and primarily singlefamily residential areas within the UG-, zone, and the entirely urban character of the Urban Center. Streetscapes are of urban character, but designed to provide a pleasant transition between the hardscape of the Urban Center and the more heavily landscaped streets capes of the UG-, zone. 3. Corridor (COR). The COR zone is applied to portions of the Newhall, Railroad, and Lyons Avenue corridors within the downtown area appropriate for development types tolerant of a high traffic volume street, but that are also pedestrian-friendly, and designed to create a built character consistent with and complementary to the rest of Old Town Newhall. The architectural types allowed in this zone are less intensive, lower in height, and accommodate lower densities than those in the Urban Center, but also accommodate a mixture of land uses, including some housing. Streetscapes are of urban character and planted both to enhance the pedestrian experience on these busier streets, and to contribute to the identity of the entire downtown area. 119 OLD TOWN NEWHALL SECIFIC LAN ADOTED DECEMBER 22, 2005 REVISED:

2 4. Urban Center (UC). The UC zone is applied to the central portions of the downtown area appropriate for a wide range of land uses in buildings averaging two (2) stories in height, with lofts, towers, or penthouses providing visual articulation and variety. height is permitted in instances where a full block is being developed. Ground floor uses include specialty retail and restaurants, and upper floors accommodate offices or residential units. Arts, restaurant, entertainment, and civic uses are encouraged, along with other uses that support the emerging Arts and Entertainment District. Auto-oriented uses are not appropriate in this zone. Street frontages throughout this zone are pedestrianoriented, and defined by nonresidential building facades at the back of the sidewalk. off street parking is to be provided in public facilities (structures or surface lots) or located away from street frontages behind buildings, but may also be located on side streets with appropriate landscaping and screening from the street. Streetscapes are of urban character, and planted to enhance the pedestrian experience. Shops and restaurants are smaller in scale, generally between 1,500 and 5,000 square feet, supporting the distinct, eclectic identity of Old Town Newhall. 5. Creative District (CD). The CD zone is applied to properties along ine Street southerly of Newhall Avenue that offer significant potential for a mixture of creative businesses and business incubation, in addition to current light industry. This zone benefits from Newhall Avenue access and its adjacency to the future industrial area to the east. Allowable architectural types emphasize office and/or shop buildings, which may be served by enclosed yards for outdoor activity. Streetscapes are of urban character, planted primarily to soften the appearance of industrial structures, activities, and traffic. 6. Open Space District (OS). The OS zone is applied to land designated as open space - principally to William S. Hart ark, the Veteran's Historic Memorial laza, and Creekview ark adjacent to Newhall Creek - and is subject to Open Space regulations of the Unified Development Code.

A land use that is listed in the table, but not within a particular zone, is not allowed within that zone. 3. Similar and compatible use may be allowed. The Director may determine that a proposed use not listed in Table 4-1 is allowable through the process described in Chapter of the Unified Development Code (Interpretations).
