District 6 Neighborhood Activity Corridor

The images below show example of District 6 Neighborhood Activity Corridor areas.

Maximum Residential Gross Density

25 dwelling units per acre

Maximum Intensity (Floor Area Ratio)

All non-residential Development - 1.0 FAR

Typical Uses

Mixed-use developments including single and multi-family residential and neighborhood-scale office and commercial activity. Residential development may include townhouses and apartments above offices, commercial, and residential support services. (See FLUE Policy 3.4.7 for table depicting desired mixture of land uses with the NAC category)

Specific Intent/Description

All of the "Neighborhood" land use classifications were created to promote the redevelopment of blighted communities. The NAC category is proposed as a linear core district providing a mixture of land uses along main roadways. The NAC district shall provide a transition area to more typical residential areas. The NAC also provides for the development of a vital, pedestrian-oriented district that can support a variety of residential and support uses at an intensity greater than the surrounding neighborhoods, but less intense than the Neighborhood Centers.
