Office/Residential Intensive District Alternative

The ORI district is designed to provide adequate and suitable space in appropriate locations for high intensity office uses mutually compatible with high-density residential uses. A selective list of retail trade, business service and personal care service uses are permitted if the principal purpose is to serve the recurring needs of the occupants or employees of other permitted uses in these districts. These districts are appropriately located between districts characterized by less intense residential and office development and areas of more intensive commercial uses, or they are extensions along major traffic arteries from areas used for more intensive commercial purposes. ORI-A is designed to create walkable neighborhoods through the use of appropriate building placement and bulk standards and is an alternative to a zoning district that requires a site plan. ORI-NS and ORI-A-NS are designed to allow the same standards and uses of the ORI and ORI-A districts with the exception of prohibiting Short term rental property-Owner occupied and Short term rental property-Not owner occupied uses from the districts.
