Article 7. Alternate Typologies

Part 7A. Introduction

Div. 7A.1. Orientation

Sec. 7A.1.1. Relationship to Zone String

Alternative Typologies may be used on lots where all districts in the applied zone string are listed as eligible districts in the eligibility table of an Alternate Typology. An Alternate Typology either supersedes or defers to the standards of the underlying applied zoning districts as specified by the Alternate Typology.

Sec. 7A.1.2. How to Use Article 7. (Alternate Typologies)

  1. Determine Eligibility

    Review each component in a zone string against the eligible districts for an Alternate Typology.

  2. Identify Standards
    1. Form Standards

      Outlined in Subsection D. (Form Standards) of each Alternate Typology (Part 7B.).

    2. Frontage Standards

      Outlined in Subsection E. (Frontage Standards) of each Alternate Typology (Part 7B.).

    3. Development Standards

      Outlined in Subsection F. (Development Standards) of each Alternate Typology (Part 7B.).

    4. Use Standards

      Outlined in Subsection G. (Use Standards) of each Alternate Typology (Part 7B.).

    5. Density Standards

      Outlined in Subsection H. (Density Standards) of each Alternate Typology (Part 7B.).

  3. Interpret Standards

    Each standard in an Alternate Typology in Part 7B. (Alternate Typologies) provides a reference to Part 7C. (Alternate Typology Rules) where each standard is explained in detail.

Sec. 7A.1.3. Alternate Typology Graphics

  1. General
    1. Illustrations and graphics are included in Article 7. (Alternate Typologies) only to assist users in understanding the intent and requirements of the text. In the event a conflict occurs between the text of Article 7. (Alternate Typologies) and any illustration or graphic, the text prevails.

    2. To interpret the Form standard graphics in Article 7. (Alternate Typologies) see Sec. 2A.1.3. (Form District Diagrams).

    3. To interpret the Frontage standard graphics in Article 7. (Alternate Typologies) see Sec. 3A.1.3. (Frontage District Diagrams).

Sec. 7A.1.4. Alternate Typology Naming Convention

Alternate Typology names are composed of two components: a typology category and a variation number.

  1. Typology Category

    The first component of each Alternate Typology name is a typology category. Typology categories group all typologies with similar allowed uses, characteristics, and intent. Typology categories are organized as follows:

    1. Civic Institution

    2. Corner Store

    3. Small Lot Subdivision

    4. Drive-Through

    5. Fueling Station

    6. Opportunity Corridors

    7. Corridor Transitions

  2. Variation Number

    The last component of each Alternate Typology name is a variation number. Alternate Typologies are numbered based on the order in which they were incorporated into this Zoning Code (Chapter 1A).

Div. 7A.2. General Rules

Sec. 7A.2.1. Alternate Typologies Intent

There are certain cases where the desired physical form for a specific type of development is prohibited by the zoning applied to a lot. In those cases, Alternate Typologies provide an option to override specific standards in the underlying zoning that may otherwise prohibit the desired form. In exchange for providing greater flexibility on particular standards, Alternate Typologies require adherence to other standards that promote the desired form and ensure that projects are contextually appropriate.

Sec. 7A.2.2. Alternate Typologies Applicability

  1. Eligibility

    Alternate Typologies are only allowed in eligible districts. Each Alternate Typology provides an eligibility table that lists all zoning districts where the Alternate Typology is allowed. Any lot within one of the eligible zoning districts may use the Alternate Typology. When an eligible district is listed with "_", all variations of the district are eligible (for example, RN_ includes RN1, RN2 and any other RN variation).

  2. Project Activities
    1. Alternate Typology standards apply to project activities as shown in the applicability statements of each Section in Part 2C. (Form Rules), Part 3C. (General Frontage Rules), Part 3D. (Character Frontage Rules), Part 4C. (Development Standards Rules), Part 5C. (Use Rules), and Part 6C. (Density Rules). More than one project activity may apply to a project (for example, an exterior modification may also include a use modification).

    2. Project applicability may also be modified by Article 12. (Nonconformities).

    3. Project activities are defined in Sec. 14.2.15. (Project Activities).

  3. Applicable Components of Buildings & Lots
    1. Alternate Typology regulations apply to all portions of a lot.

    2. Alternate Typology regulations apply to all portions of buildings and structures on a lot.

    3. Specific Alternate Typology regulations may further limit which components of buildings and lots are required to comply with the rules in Part 7C. (Alternate Typology Rules).

  4. Nonconformities
    1. Article 12. (Nonconformities) provides relief from the requirements of Article 7. (Alternate Typologies) for existing lots, site improvements, buildings, structures, and uses that conformed to the zoning regulations at the time they were established, but do not conform to current district standards or use permissions. No proposed project activity using an Alternate Typology may decrease the conformance with any Form, Frontage, Development, Use, or Density standard in Article 7. (Alternate Typologies), unless otherwise specified in Div. 12.2. (Form Exceptions), Div. 12.3. (Frontage Exceptions), Div. 12.4. (Development Standards Exceptions), Div. 12.5. (Use Exceptions), or Div. 12.6. (Density Exceptions).

Sec. 7A.2.3. Relationship to Zoning Districts

  1. Where a standard is listed in an Alternate Typology, the specification listed for each standard in the Alternate Typology supersedes the specification listed in the underlying zoning districts for the same standard.

  2. The underlying zoning district standard applies where an Alternate Typology:

    1. Expressly defers to the underlying districts (for example, "Set by Form District");

    2. Provides no specification for a standard listed by the underlying zoning districts; or

    3. Does not list a standard that is listed by the underlying zoning districts.

Sec. 7A.2.4. Relationship to Specific Plans & Supplemental Districts

  1. Alternate Typologies do not supersede the requirements of Specific Plans or Supplemental Districts.

  2. Special Zones are not eligible to use Alternate Typologies.

    2. Eligible Projects

      In order to be eligible to use the Corridor Transitions 2 Alternate Typology, a project must be on a lot mapped in the CT-2 Corridor Transitions Incentive Set on the Mixed Income Housing Incentive Map (Sec. 1.5.17.), and must be utilizing, and meeting all requirements of, Sec. 9.2.4. (Corridor Transitions Incentive Program).

  2. Intent

    The Corridor Transitions 2 Alternate Typology is intended to establish a package of alternative standards for housing projects and aims to facilitate the creation and development of restricted affordable units in lower density areas in the City, aiding in smoothing the transition between higher-scale development along principal corridors to lower-scale development in interior neighborhoods. The Corridor Transitions Incentive Program provides the rules and framework for granting moderate increases in density and floor area ratio to meet this goal, while controlling lower-scale residential design needs and constraints. The alternate typology facilitates the Corridor Transitions Incentive Program (Sec. 9.2.4.).
