Senior housing is also preferred because it places less demand on scarce <br />resources within the district, primarily land and public facilities. Lower <br />levels of traffic, parking demand, a higher use of transit and pedestrian <br />opportunities, and higher levels of on -site services all help to reduce the <br />competition with commercial development for both public and private <br />space. <br />Housing for non - seniors should be located either outside of the district, <br />or in the second story apartments which may be created over first story <br />commercial space. These spaces are less adaptable to senior housing due <br />to accessibility and fewer on -site services. <br />All housing types will be reviewed with an emphasis on structured, below <br />grade parking areas which help to preserve land for development as <br />buildings and usable green space. <br />The City will use its zoning authority to consider whether development proposals <br />adhere to the Comprehensive Plan's goals as stated in the Development Guide <br />principles, concept plans, land use recommendations, and other themes. The <br />objectives stated in this Appendix should be considered to be integral to the <br />Development Guide and the Comprehensive Plan. Land use proposals which do <br />not adhere to the Development Guide will not be eligible for zoning approvals <br />due to statutory requirements for consistency between municipal zoning and <br />comprehensive planning. <br />Page E 3 <br />Page 51 <br />
