Summary of Character Areas Description and Purpose Character of Use Building Types Characterized by an intense mix of residential and commercial uses oriented around a transit station and/or regional road corridors. The transit area maintains its pedestrian scale with connected streets, active streetscape and walkable block sizes even when building footprints are larger. Mixed- or Multi-Use Retail, Office, Residential Mixed-Use Storefront Commercial Large-Format Retail Apartment Houses Townhomes Comprised of moderate office and/or retail area with some neighborhood-scale commercial services. Include mixed-use buildings or mixed-use blocks of ground-floor retail and office uses which primarily serve the surrounding area with a high level of internal and external connectivity. Mixed- or Multi-Use Retail, Office, Limited Residential Mixed-Use Storefront Commercial Apartment Houses Townhomes Civic infrastructure such as schools, libraries and community centers are critical to the quality of life in our Plan Areas. Locating these facilities in transit station areas will also maximize their accessibility for the entire Charlotte community. Schools Libraries Day Care Centers These areas are the foundation of Residential the Plan Areas. Existing residential neighborhoods should be strengthened and new neighborhoods created in appropriate places. Characterized by larger industrial and office uses such as manufacturing facilities, warehouses and flex space. These businesses need immediate access to rail and/or highways and are a major contributor to the job base of the community. Some supporting retail or office uses may accompany the industrial use. Places where open space connections are preferred for environmental preservation and/or pedestrian connection. Their application may vary widely, from stormwater facilities, to parks and greenways, to merely widened sidewalks.
