Downtown is intended to be the focal point of the community. This is achieved by promoting an efficient, compact land use pattern; encouraging pedestrian activity; reducing the reliance on private automobiles within the district; promoting a functional and attractive community through the use of urban design principles; and allowing developers flexibility in land use and site design. The Downtown district is to be an area with a mixture of moderately intense uses that are developed over an identifiable core. Buildings are close to and oriented toward the street. There is a connected street pattern, shared parking, and pedestrian amenities. It is the intention of this ordinance to include all C-3 uses that were attributed to the Town Square NR -PUD (Ordinance 224) as of the date of adoption of this ordinance. Relationship to Adopted Plans: The 1995 Southlake Corridor Study recommends the establishment of a `Village Center - west' between S.H 114 and F.M 1709, east of Carroll Avenue and west of Kimball Avenue. The appropriate geographic location for the Downtown district shall be limited to the area known as Village Center —west. The Downtown district implements the 1998 Land Use Plan, as amended, which `encourages the development of a mixed-use town center that will create a focal point for the community by way of its geographic location, standards for development and mix of uses and services' and identifies an appropriate location for "Town Center" land use designation. 37.2 SCHEDULE OF USES Uses within the Downtown district shall be in accordance with the following schedule of uses.
