7 Introduction Focus Area A large portion of the Pierce County unincorporated urban growth area is located within four community plan areas: Frederickson, Mid-County, Parkland-Spanaway-Midland, and South Hill. These communities developed community plans in the early 2000s to set forth a vision on how they would like to develop. Those community plans are being updated starting in 2016 through While the community plans are intended to reflect community-specific interests, the purpose of updating all four plans at once is to address the central urban growth area as a whole and find ways to better accommodate future growth. Figure 1: Focus Area Community Plan Boundaries ATTACHMENT B: CENTERS AND CORRIDORS FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL B-7
8 History of Centers and Corridors Concept Historically, the Pierce County Comprehensive Plan and Community Plans have designated commercial, industrial, and higher density residential along four major roads in the central urban growth area: Pacific Avenue South (SR7), Meridian East (SR161), 112th Street East, and 176th Street East. These roads connect the Community Plan areas, and provide commercial services and employment industries. Figure 2: Central UGA Community Plans - Centers and Corridors Identified in Plans In the 2015 update of the Pierce County Comprehensive Plan, the County adopted policies to support compact centers and transit-oriented corridors. In 2016, the County Council adopted the Urban Communities of Pierce Report and Implementation Actions through Resolution s. This Resolution is intended to expand upon and implement the idea carried forward in the community plans. ATTACHMENT B: CENTERS AND CORRIDORS FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL B-8
9 The four community plans have already developed some level of policy language to support the Centers and Corridors framework: Frederickson Provide well-designed, appropriately scaled retail and service development at limited locations in the community. Retail and service development within the plan area should be scaled to meet neighborhood and community needs, rather than regional needs, in recognition of abundant regionally oriented shopping centers in other nearby communities. Mid-County Encourage commercial centers, corridors, and districts to contain a diverse mix of uses. The mix of uses will be influenced by the intensity, character, and circulation established for each center and district through the policies of this plan. Recognize and support the Community Centers near SR512 and Portland Avenue and SR512 and Canyon Road as regional commercial and limited mixed use residential areas, whose growth must be nurtured in a motor vehicle-oriented market environment with a balance of pedestrian and transit facilities. Parkland-Spanaway-Midland Commercial centers shall be focused around key intersections in transportation corridors that serve one or more neighborhoods or communities and provide a people place as well as a commercial focus for businesses along the corridor. Through public and private project design and regulation, create recognizable, compact, pedestrian-oriented commercial centers. South Hill Create separated and distinguishable districts along Meridian Avenue providing the highest quality private and public sector development that connects to adjacent neighborhoods, preserves pockets of natural areas, and moves through traffic safely and efficiently. Reshape the existing commercial corridor along Meridian Avenue into separated commercial nodes distinguishable through activities, architecture and site design and are based on the surrounding neighborhood and development potential. ATTACHMENT B: CENTERS AND CORRIDORS FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL B-9
10 Existing Zoning and Development Pattern The areas identified as mixed use centers and corridors in the community plans have been developing as commercial and higher density residential uses. The map below shows the current zoning in the area. The various shades of red are mixed use zones, the yellow shades are moderate density single-family residential, and the blue shades are industrial employment. The existing pattern was taken into account as the basis for updating the concept of Centers and Corridors. Figure 3: Existing Zoning Pattern ATTACHMENT B: CENTERS AND CORRIDORS FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL B-10
11 Centers and Corridors Concept Revived The Centers and Corridors concept builds on the historic land use pattern and supports the development patterns described in the community plans. The key components to enhancing these areas include: Compact, High-Density Communities Establish centers along major transportation corridors that will develop into compact communities. Between centers, overlay the area within 1/4 mile on either side of the corridors with a density of 12+ units per acre to create land use patterns and densities that will support transit. Access to Transit Seek ways to serve the corridors with short-interval local transit, such as trolleys for shopping and commuter transit, and express service to regional connections, such as the Puyallup and Lakewood transit stations. Pedestrian and Bicycle Connectivity Develop pedestrian and bicycle paths throughout the corridor connecting to centers. Focus on ensuring connections from residential areas to goods and services for everyday needs. Target Infrastructure Investments Focus infrastructure expenditures to support increased density and transit services within these areas. Centers should be the primary recipient of investments while corridors would be improved with support infrastructure. Figure 4: Centers vs. Corridors Centers Central place Destination park once and walk around Social activity use type restaurants, shopping, services, leisure activities Multifamily housing live near amenities Transportation hub transit access, bicycle routes, pedestrian-oriented More design standards appealing place to spend time Corridors Supplement Centers capture spillover growth and link Centers Allow for auto-oriented uses larger shopping complexes, gas stations, auto repair Less design standards than Centers Improve traffic flow along major roads, parallel roads serve as local, pedestrian, and bicycle connections ATTACHMENT B: CENTERS AND CORRIDORS FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL B-11
12 Why Centers and Corridors are Important Centers and Corridors serve as areas to focus future growth and investment. Promoting growth in these areas helps preserve and protect the existing single-family residential neighborhoods from incompatible uses. The concept designates areas for growth along existing transportation corridors that could benefit from higher densities to attract more transit and other modes of transportation with the goal of creating more local and regional transportation connections. Benefits to an Area-Wide Approach While these concepts have been identified in each community plan over the years, it has become apparent that a more cohesive approach would benefit the communities. In 2015, the Comprehensive Plan adopted overarching language regarding compact communities and transit-oriented corridor development. It is important to be consistent between plans and look at the central urban growth area as a whole rather than separated by each community. There are many reasons for and benefits to taking an area-wide approach, such as: Figure 5: Benefits to an Area-Wide Approach to Centers and Corridors General Public Benefits Increases housing and employment choices Development Community Benefits More opportunity for the market to dictate development Protects the single-family areas from significant growth Increases transportation options, connections, and funding opportunities Design standards keep development in line with community vision Economic vitality Incentivizes priority areas for more growth County may supplement some of the infrastructure and environmental review costs Simplified regulations Encourages redevelopment Consistency in language: Cohesive approach to: Emphasize parallel goals: Between community plans With the Comprehensive Plan Planning for future growth Transportation issues Benefits to all community plan areas ATTACHMENT B: CENTERS AND CORRIDORS FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL B-12
13 Public Involvement Public outreach, involvement, and feedback is detailed in the other attachments. Staff collected and reviewed input from members of the community, community groups, stakeholders, and other County departments and divisions. The input was used to make changes to the initial proposal which are outlined in the following section. Updates to the Initial Proposal Zoning Name Changes After reviewing the naming conventions for the new proposed zones, it is recommended that some of the names should change to better reflect the intent of the zones. Changes are outlined below: Figure 6: Zoning Name Changes Original Zone Name Mixed Use-Commercial Center (MU-COM) Mixed Use-High Density Residential Center (MU-HDR) Employment Corridor (E) Mixed Use Corridor (MU) Residential Corridor (R) Updated Zone Name Town Center (TCX) Urban Center (UCX) Employment Corridor (E) Urban Corridor (U) Neighborhood Corridor (N) Map Changes Major map changes to the initial proposal include: Changes to the Urban Corridor zoning boundaries and a change to Neighborhood Corridor zoning along the outer edge to serve as a buffer for adjacent singlefamily neighborhoods. Reduced boundaries of the Corridor zoning in areas with established subdivisions where the designation reaches outside the 1/4-mile radius. Remove the Corridor designation along 176th (keep the Center at Canyon and 176th). ATTACHMENT B: CENTERS AND CORRIDORS FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL B-13
14 Figure 7: Map Changes Note: does not show areas that were removed from the proposal. ATTACHMENT B: CENTERS AND CORRIDORS FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL B-14
15 Policy Changes Major policy changes to the initial proposal include: Height limit on all zones that initially had unlimited height. Unlimited densities were retained because of the adequacy of bulk standard limitations to dictate size and density. Increased minimum height for Centers. Reduced maximum density in the Neighborhood Corridor. Increased minimum density in Town Center and Urban Centers. Employment Corridor will be under the existing Employment Center Land Use Designation. Allow big box in Urban Centers, but design to mitigate impacts to Center connectivity and walkability. Include parking standards in Centers. Look for reducing parking but not eliminating the requirement. Flexibility for commercial but not multifamily unless in close proximity to transit. Figure 8: Density and Height Changes Zone Minimum Density Maximum Density Min/Max Height Town Center (TCX) units/acre Unlimited Unlimited 2 stories/45 Urban Center (UCX) units/acre Unlimited Unlimited 2 stories/65 Employment Corridor (E) No Residential No Residential Unlimited None/65 Urban Corridor (U) 12 units/acre Unlimited Unlimited None/65 Neighborhood Corridor (N) 6 units/acre units/acre None/45 ATTACHMENT B: CENTERS AND CORRIDORS FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL B-15

17 Centers and Corridors Framework There are four aspects to developing successful Centers and Corridors: Figure 9: Centers and Corridors Framework Categories Land Use Design Mobility Investments Land Use Land use refers to the allowed uses and intensity for future development. The policies dictate what types of development may occur, and how dense and what size they may be. Land use provisions differ between Centers and Corridors to meet the vision for those areas. Centers are intended to be more densely populated and provide access to goods, services, and leisure activities within walking distance to residents. Corridors are more auto-oriented commercial and high-density residential uses, supportive of and with connections to the Centers. High density Pedestrianoriented uses Mixed use ATTACHMENT B: CENTERS AND CORRIDORS FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL B-17
18 Design Design refers to the look and feel of a destination. Design policies will focus on creating a sense of place and destination that is safe for all users. Internal circulation within developments and how they connect to surrounding uses is a major focus for Centers and Corridors. The County would explore ways to establish a better system of connections. Developments will be required to: Build aesthetically pleasing and functional buildings Contribute to amenities and Center identifiers Creatively minimize parking areas Provide non-motorized connections to surrounding areas Consolidate and establish uniform signage Mobility Mobility refers to the pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and automobile movement outside of specific projects. Mobility should be addressed holistically along the Corridors and around the Centers in order to have a cohesive and connected transportation system for all users. While there are some project-oriented requirements, the majority of mobility policy directs the County to plan for a better system and coordinate with other agencies and existing development. Pedestrianoriented design and circulation Green spaces and connections to parks/rec Connect to transit Amenities Nonmotorized access Retrofit ATTACHMENT B: CENTERS AND CORRIDORS FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL B-18
19 Investments Investment refers to County investments in infrastructure, services, and programs for increasing the success of Centers and Corridors. Investments should be primarily focused in the Centers, with necessary transportation improvements in the Corridors. Infrastructure prioritization would help increase the ability to develop these areas at a higher density. Adoption of a programmatic environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Centers would encourage developers to invest in the communities. Exploring potential public facilities and services to locate in the Centers would bring more jobs and investment. Setting up Business Improvement Districts for businesses within Centers to buy into and operate would help create a sense of place and maintain investments and amenities. Designations and Zones Infrastructure prioritization Public services Business Improvement Districts Center (CTR) Designation The Center land use designation applies to areas along the major transportation corridors that are characterized as a local focal point of the community, or have a draw that consistently attracts a variety of users. The designation is limited to a walkable boundary. Areas designated as a Center are a high priority for investments. Town Center (TCX) Zone The Town Center zone promotes moderate-density multifamily, some attached singlefamily, and a range of commercial uses. These Centers should be a resource for everyday needs and leisure activities. Urban Center (UCX) Zone The Urban Center zone promotes high-density multifamily uses, access to goods and services for residents everyday needs, and leisure activities. These Centers should be a hub for activity and offer a variety of options to residents within walking distance of their residence. Connections to nearby parks and recreation opportunities are a priority if possible. ATTACHMENT B: CENTERS AND CORRIDORS FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL B-19
20 Corridor (COR) Designation The Corridor land use designation applies to areas along the major transportation corridors that are not designated as a Center. This designation is intended to create links between Centers and offer transit-supportive densities and complimentary uses. As opposed to Centers, Corridors allow for more auto-oriented uses and a wider variety of housing densities, and do not have as high of a priority for investments. The Corridors should complement and supplement the Centers as areas for more housing and employment opportunities and activities not available in or compatible with Centers. There should be continuous connectivity throughout the Corridors and to the Centers for all modes of transportation. Employment Corridor (E) Zone The Employment Corridor zone is intended to attract jobs-based industry and offices. The Employment Corridors are intended to break up areas of residential and commercial with larger employers, particularly on Corridors intended for freight movement, such as Canyon Road East. Job creation in the Employment Corridors should help alleviate the need for residents to travel outside the area. Neighborhood Corridor (N) Zone The Neighborhood Corridor zone is intended to help buffer lower density residential neighborhoods from higher intensity areas along the Corridors. Residential Corridors are able to develop at slightly higher densities than typical single-family zones and allow for some neighborhood-scale services and amenities for residents in walking distance. Urban Corridor (U) Zone The Urban Corridor zone promotes transit-supportive residential densities while still allowing a market for auto-reliant and more land-intensive commercial between Centers. The Mixed Use Corridors should connect Centers and contain supportive uses not available in Centers. ATTACHMENT B: CENTERS AND CORRIDORS FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL B-20

23 Centers Location Criteria The following criteria apply to all Centers: Within the urban growth area; Existing areas with a multifamily, commercial, or mixed use base; Potential for further development or redevelopment; Walkable boundaries and size; Proximity to infrastructure/transportation; Has a draw or is an established focal point of community; On SR7, SR161, 176th, or 112th; and The boundary of an existing Center designation should not be extended unless expanding within 1/4-mile radius of the center of that Center designation. In addition, Centers must meet the following criteria by zone: Town Center Areas that are not targeted for or feasible to develop at higher densities due to geographical constraints, including: Proximity to an airport (area of influence constraints) Proximity to a freight corridor Existing development patterns Urban Center Areas that have the ability to support higher intensity uses and are not limited by geographical constraints. Centers of Local Importance The Centers included in this proposal would also be formally adopted as Centers of Local Importance (CoLI) in the Pierce County Comprehensive Plan. These CoLI would be areas for the County to apply for funding through Pierce County Regional Council and Puget Sound Regional Council. ATTACHMENT B: CENTERS AND CORRIDORS FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL B-23

27 Urban Center Uses The Urban Center (UCX) zone allows for high density multifamily residential, local retail, grocery, restaurants, office, civic uses, and other amenities and services. The primary goal of this zone is to create compact communities with highdensity housing with goods, services, and amenities within walking distance. A mix of uses within buildings and connectivity to surrounding uses is ideal. Development is encouraged to build vertically at high densities.
