Abstract:
The Activity Corridors Model Design Guidelines serves as a guide for local communities to incorporate design elements and features into a contemporary zoning ordinance and understand the implications of various options within the zoning ordinance text. Activity Corridors are transportation corridors or highway interchanges with intense development. They typically contain a variety of retail, office, and service oriented uses, and vary in width, density, and design depending on the local character. While many Corridors are auto-centric, they have the potential to become more walkable, connect to surrounding neighborhoods, and include more attractive streetscapes.
