(a) The purpose of the Urban Village District (UVD) is to allow for flexibility in zoning that will allow for the overall development site to become a walkable, integrated urban village with the following emphases:
(1) A unified architectural character that allow for creative interpretation of traditional design vernaculars, motifs, and building materials that create a visually cohesive, integrated urban village environment;
(2) Activity areas, and open space around a well-designed transportation/ circulation network where pedestrian activity is strongly supported and integrated with vehicular streetscapes, service or parking areas;
(3) Retailing, cafes, restaurants and personal or business services that generate high pedestrian activity along ground floor locations and potential office space or residential units on upper floors of or peripheral mixed-use or residential developments;
(4) A design where commercial, office, retail, institutional and public single lot uses can be incorporated into the overall urban village fabric.
(5) Residential areas that are intermixed within close/walkable proximity of new commercial uses, places of work or dedicated public open spaces and/or amenities;
(6) An emphasis on development where new and existing residents and visitors can live, work and play.
(7) A design where open space, streetscapes with dedicated sidewalks, pathways, public and/or institutional uses, and recreational uses are interwoven to create an overall village context.
