Corridor Redevelopment District - Urban

This District is intended to promote the renewal of the traditional auto-oriented commercial corridors of the City of Auburn. The areas with this designation were developed prior to the current zoning regulations and suffer from poor aesthetics and lack of economic diversity. This District provides regulations that permit redevelopment of a more urban or mixed-use character while protecting the economic viability of the corridor. It provides for intermediate residential densities and necessary commercial and institutional uses.; The CRD is designed to target areas where a combination of public investment in capital improvements and public/private actions to renew and redevelop land and structures will stabilize commercial corridors, thereby reducing the cost of growth in Auburn. The CRD is not intended to accommodate a substantially larger population as a result of redevelopment, but the character, stability and vitality of the District are projected to improve. Like the CDD, this District allows many and varied uses while placing emphasis on minimizing or buffering any nuisances between uses. This zone, therefore, imposes standards to alleviate conflicts and eliminate negative impacts.
