Rockwood Town Center District

This district encompasses the heart of Central Rockwood. It is centered on the triangle formed by E. Burnside, NE 181st Ave., and SE Stark St., but also takes in adjacent properties around the triangle. Primary uses permitted in RTC are retail commercial, services, office uses and housing. Mixed-use developments and various institutional uses (e.g. library, public meeting halls, government facilities) are also permitted. The scale and character of new development is intended to support and reinforce the image of a town center, with buildings of at least two stories, oriented to streets and pedestrians, and with parking lots behind or to the sides of buildings.; A portion of the Rockwood Town Center will be the focus of more concentrated high-density residential, office, commercial, service and institutional mixed-use development in a village type urban form. Within this area, proposals to develop multifamily structures and townhouses that front on streets are required to have a mixed-use component along the street frontage. Mixed-use consists of commercial, office, or institutional uses or combinations thereof in combination with residential uses. This Mixed-Use Rockwood Town Center area consists of the triangle described above, and other properties which front on its abutting streets.
