(e) In addition to the above, an additional purpose of the Downtown D-2 District is to provide a mechanism for implementing the following specific goals, using both public and private sector investment: 1. Capitalizing on public investment in existing infrastructure; 11. Promoting compact, mixed-use development at moderate to high densities; 111. Ensuring transit-supportive and transit-serviceable development; requiring pedestrian-oriented and transit-oriented design; and IV. Ensuring compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods. Sec. 40-56. Downtown Districts - Permitted Uses. Uses permitted in the Downtown Districts shall be governed according to subdistricts, as shown on the Zoning Map. Table 40-56.1 lists the uses allowed in the various subdistricts. The designations and general purposes of the subdistricts are as follows: (a) T3 subdistrict. The T3 (Urban Residential) subdistrict contains a mix of residential uses, but maintains a residential urban fabric. These areas, furthest from the Historic District, represent the least intense urbanism downtown. This subdistrict contains flexible dimensional requirements to allow development consistent with the design of existing downtown neighborhoods. (b) T4 subdistrict. The T4 (General Urban) subdistrict contains a mix of uses, but maintains a predominantly residential urban fabric. These areas, nearest to the Historic District, represent moderately intense urbanism in the downtown. This subdistrict contains flexible dimensional requirements to allow development complimentary to and building upon the design of existing downtown neighborhoods. (c) T5 subdistrict. The T5 (Urban Center) subdistrict contains a higher density mix of uses with primarily retail space at the ground floor. (d) T6 subdistrict. The T6 (Urban Core) subdistrict is designed for high-density mixed uses. This subdistrict is the most intense land use Downtown. (e) SD subdistrict. The SD (Special District) subdistrict is a low-density, limited mixed use district. This subdistrict is intended to provide employment with mixed-uses, including manufacturing, distribution and warehousing, as well as civic uses and supportive retail uses. In an effort to minimize land-use conflicts, this subdistrict is not generally suited for residential uses. (f) D-2 District. The D-2 District is a Form Based Code District designed to foster a setting for economic growth and development in a sustainable mixed-use pattern of diverse urban neighborhoods, integrating residential with employment and commercial uses (as well as recreational opportunities). All regulations and requirements concerning the D2 subdistrict can be found in Appendix B of the City Code. The Zoning Map shall also identify those properties within the Downtown Districts where a Certificate of Appropriateness is required.
