Station Community Commercial-Downtown zone

Implement the Downtown Core Vision. The SCC-DT zone implements the Station Community Planning Area Comprehensive Plan designation, and implements the Downtown Core Vision Statement from the Downtown Framework Plan (Comprehensive Plan Section 28); Create a Vibrant Downtown Core. The standards of the SCC-DT zone are intended to create a downtown core that is a vibrant and active place, with shopping, dining, entertainment venues, arts and cultural experiences, civic activities and spaces and public gathering places supported by existing and new residents, employees and students living and working in and around the historic core; Provide Opportunities for Higher Density Residential and Mixed-Use Development. The higher density residential and Mixed-Use residential/commercial development opportunities provided in the SCC-DT zone increase housing choices and entrepreneurial opportunities in the historic downtown; Reduce Vehicle Trips and Encourage Active Transportation. The SCC-DT zone reduces automobile use for some daily activities by allowing higher density residential, commercial and Mixed-Use development in close proximity to light rail stations, increasing both transit use and walking and bicycling opportunities.
