A. This mixed use zone is designated to provide opportunities for the creation of a college- and neighborhood-oriented mixed use district in close proximity to the campus and the Highway 99 commercial node at the 196th Street intersection.

B. The purpose of this zone is to implement the vision of a district that consists of offices, and service businesses, integrated residential apartments, condominiums, artist lofts and/or dormitories, along with street level small businesses that cater primarily to the college and surrounding neighborhood. Businesses shall be limited in size to ensure neighborhood scale, with commercial spaces required at street level along portions of 68th Avenue and 202nd Street. Office and residential uses will be encouraged above and behind businesses. Development standards and guidelines based on this vision will provide design guidance, emphasizing building and spatial relationships, with particular emphasis on the design of pedestrian spaces, linkages between the college and business district, and related pedestrian facilities and amenities.
