This article applies to two (2) contiguous areas on each side of US Highway 1. The western area is bounded by the Palmetto Expressway on the west, the Snapper Creek Expressway on the north and US Highway 1 on the east.

(A)

Coordinating the development intensity within the district by the proximity to mass transit;

(B)

Organizing an interconnected network of colonnaded or tree lined streets to improve pedestrian access to transit; and

(C)

Creating good public open space with specific square and plaza locations and by shaping the way buildings front onto the open space and streets.

The Illustrative Plan (Figure 1), illustrates the vision and may be used to better interpret this Article. Where there is conflict between the illustrative plan and the text of this article, the text shall govern.
