Old Town Business District (OTBD), General Commercial (GC), Highway Commercial (HC), Business Park (BP), and Commercial Corridor (CC). These districts are created to accomplish the purposes and serve the objectives set forth in the remainder of this section. (b) The Neighborhood Commercial (NC) zone is established to accommodate commercial activities that would meet the daily convenience needs of people residing or working in the vicinity. . (c) The Old Town Business District (OTBD) zone is established to accommodate a mix of a wide variety of commercial activities and vertically oriented, high-capacity residential uses in a pedestrian-oriented environment. The Old Town Business District is comprised of three different sub districts, identified as Old Town Business Districts 1, 2, and 3 with each one having its own nuances regarding permissible uses, parking, and signage. (d) The General Commercial (GC) zone is established to accommodate commercial uses generally similar, though more intensive, to the types permissible in the Old Town Business District. However, it is intended that this zone be placed along arterials to cater to commuters or as a transition in some areas between a Highway Commercial zone and a residential zone. Title 20--Land Use Code Chapter 20.36: Zoning Districts & Map City of Arlington 20.36 - 3 Revised April 2026 (e) The Highway Commercial (HC) zone is established to accommodate the widest range of commercial activities. Uses allowed here include those allowed in other commercial districts, but also those that require highway access or that should be separated from residential uses. (f) The Business Park (BP) zone is established to promote and accommodate office, certain manufacturing and light industrial uses, training/educational facilities, high technology research and developments, and related uses in a park- like, master -planned setting. The Business Park also allows for Public/Semi-Public uses within this zone. (g) The Commercial Corridor (CC) zone is established to create pedestrian oriented, urbanized, mixed use neighborhoods, along designated transit routes. Design elements are to include widened sidewalks, drop lanes with on street parking, mid-block pedestrian crossings, planted medians, and bike lanes. This zone is established to utilize the stringent use of the Mixed-Use Development Regulations/Form Based Code of AMC 20.110, therefore negating the underlying zoning to accommodate mixed use as the primary land use. 20.36.030 Manufacturing Districts Established.
