ORI, Office/Residential Intensive District and ORI-A, Office Residential Intensive District Alternative. The ORI district is designed to provide adequate and suitable space in appropriate locations for high intensity office uses mutually compatible with high-density residential uses. A selective list of retail trade, business service and personal care service uses are permitted if the principal purpose is to serve the recurring needs of the occupants or employees of other permitted uses in these districts. These districts are appropriately located between districts characterized by less intense residential and office development and areas of more intensive commercial uses, or they are extensions along major traffic arteries from areas used for more intensive commercial purposes. ORI-A is designed to create walkable neighborhoods through the use of appropriate building placement and bulk standards and is an alternative to a zoning district that requires a site plan. F. Commercial Districts. Commercial districts are designed for establishments engaged in a variety of consumer sales and service uses, professional and business services, and recreational uses. Freestanding structures are common within these commercial districts, with most businesses desiring to be oriented toward major streets and thoroughfares. 1. CN, Commercial Neighborhood District. The CN district will implement the local convenience and neighborhood retail policies of the general plan. This district is designed to provide for the recurring shopping and personal service needs of nearby residential areas. The range of permitted uses is limited to those which are generally patronized on a frequent basis by neighborhood residents. The bulk and buffering standards are intended to insure good compatibility between the commercial uses and adjacent residential properties. 2. CL, Commercial Limited District. The CL district is designed to provide for a limited range of commercial uses primarily concerned with retail trade and consumer services, general and fast food restaurants, financial institutions, administrative and consulting offices. This district may be used in areas policied for concentrations of mixed commercial development, super community or regional scale retail concentrations, or in the vicinity of major intersections within existing arterial commercial areas. The uses in this district serve a moderately wide market area, and therefore ease of automobile access is requisite. 3. CS, Commercial Service District.
