Sector One Chapter 4 - Action Plan require large outdoor storage areas), Office - Professional (low impact office and professional uses), and Mixed Use (mixture of pedestrian- oriented neighborhood commercial and residential uses). 2) Adopt zoning changes to fully implement the recommendations of the Community Character section of this plan addressing neighborhood protection and preservation and enhancement of the visual character of the Sector. 3) Adopt zoning changes to ensure that new development provides better accommodation for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users in order to adequately and safely serve non - automobile transportation needs. 4) Implement overlay districts to ensure adequate building and site design within existing neighborhoods (Neighborhood Overlay District) and the Wonder World Drive corridor (Wonder World Drive Overlay District). 5) Implement a design review process through the Planning and Zoning Commission that would include compliance with mandatory Design Standards and voluntary Design Guidelines (see the Design Standards and Guidelines in the appendix). 6) Allow accessory apartments within all residential districts as long as certain standards are met (adequate parking, special minimum lot size and setback requirements, maximum apartment size, and buffering requirements). Specific standards should be developed by staff and incorporated into the Land Development Code. Many of the land use recommendations of this plan, particularly in the commercial and mixed use areas, are dependent upon the successful implementation of the zoning changes described, including the overlay districts. Until these zoning changes are in place, care should be taken when rezoning properties to ensure that proposed development will be consistent with this plan. Substantial development projects proposed prior to these zoning changes should ideally occur using the Planned Development District provisions. 3. Actions A. Strengthen enforcement of zoning violations in order to ensure the effectiveness of the measures recommended in the plan that are intended to protect the character of the existing neighborhoods and ensure high quality new development. B. Develop the Purgatory Creek Trail through a combination of developer dedications and city acquisition and construction. C. Implement the recommendations of the Transportation Master Plan through the CIP process. D. Enhance the maintenance of roadway striping, particularly at crosswalks and intersections, for pedestrian safety. E. Ensure that adequate pedestrian accommodations are implemented for all new and reconstructed road projects (e.g., crosswalks, pedestrian signals, etc.). F. Implement the "Sidewalk District" recommendations in the Transportation Master Plan in Sector One. Sidewalk construction and repairs should focus on the streets identified in this plan.
