Boulevard, the more urban - scaled buildings transition in size and design to better match the <br />character of the adjacent single family neighborhoods. <br />ISSUES <br />Land Use <br />❖ The focus of the City's efforts to date have been on the TIB corridor. The community's vision <br />goes further, and considers a TIB district or neighborhood. The boundaries of the new TIB <br />District extend from S. 160th Street on the south to S. 128th Street on the north, and include <br />adjacent commercial uses, multifamily developments, and single family homes (See Figure <br />1). <br />❖ The TIB roadway remains a dominant element running through the center of the District. <br />TIB is a single, continuous street with little differentiation in uses or buildings forms along <br />its entire length. To achieve the community's vision for the District, specific portions of TIB <br />will require different degrees of emphasis. Over time, new development will be <br />concentrated into relatively smaller areas or "nodes" in key locations. Development in these <br />nodes should be a walkable and compact mix of uses, with a distinctive character, and <br />served by public transit. Beyond the node areas, redevelopment should consist of <br />residential and neighborhood- serving commercial services with a pedestrian- orientation. <br />The existing zoning regulations, including zoning districts, height limits, and permitted uses <br />will need to be revised so that they are more effective in achieving the community's vision, <br />particularly those addressing commercial and mixed use districts. <br />❖ Abrupt transitions between the more intensive, taller uses planned along TIB and the <br />adjacent single family residential neighborhood will need to be mitigated through design <br />review and development regulations. <br />❖ Commercial zoning along TIB in some locations is only 1 or 2 parcels deep, and many of <br />these parcels are shallow in depth and small, less than 7,500 square feet. Parcel <br />aggregation, development incentives, and rezoning will be necessary to redevelop these <br />locations consistent with the land use goals envisioned for this area. <br />\ \DEPTSTORE \DCD Common$ \Long Range Projects \2014 CompPlanUpdate \Transportation Corridors \Draft Element \Draft TIB <br />Element—PC Review_5.21.15.docx 5 05/07/2015 <br />
