§ 122-450. Purpose.

Corridors are mixed-use and commercial areas located along the arteries of the City, such as Washtenaw, Huron, Hamilton, Michigan, Harriet, and River.

(a)

Historic corridor (HC). Historic corridors are located primarily in the historic district, and are on Cross Street, Huron Street, Hamilton Street, and River Street. These corridors are lined with historic buildings and are integrated into the adjacent neighborhoods and centers. The intent of this district is to preserve the walkability, character and historic nature of these streets, while allowing for adaptive re-use of historic buildings.

(b)

Neighborhood corridor (NC). Neighborhood corridors have a linear land pattern and are adjacent to residential neighborhoods. The size, form and scale of buildings and the type and intensity of uses should be complementary to abutting single-family or core neighborhoods, including less intense multiple-family residential building types and uses.

(c)

General corridor (GC). General corridors are located along roads with heavy traffic and have commercial establishments, restaurants, offices, and other businesses that are geared toward automobile traffic. Multiple-family residential building types and uses are appropriate in this district.
