A. The Central Business District (CBD) zoning district is the primary retail, office, social, urban residential, and government center of the City. The complementary and interactive mixture of uses and urban design provides for a regional intensity and viability with a local character. The regional focus and vitality of the district is evident in the urban density, intensity, and composition of the uses in the district. Local character is reflected in the district’s design, people orientation, and connectivity between uses, structures, and public spaces that foster a sense of community.

B. Colonial Overlay (C-O) district is a special design district in the CBD zone that preserves the unique colonial style aesthetic within that area. Stand-alone residential development is prohibited in the C-O.

C. Town Center Incentive Overlay (TCI-O) district allows for the holistic development of the Lakewood Towne Center in alignment with the vision and policies of the downtown plan. This area is available for master planning in accordance with the provisions in LMC 18B.700.720. Stand-alone residential development is prohibited in the TCI-O.

D. Low-Impact Mixed-Use Roads (LIMU-O) district supports the transformation of the Downtown District according to the downtown plan and the fulfillment of the purpose of the CBD zone, but allows for existing single-family residential development to remain in place.

E. Transition Overlay. The Transition Overlay (TO) is any property or portion of a property in the Downtown District that is within 100 feet of an abutting single-family residential zone or mixed residential zone (also called the district receiving the transition). Properties within the Downtown District that are separated from a single-family residential or mixed residential zone by a City owned right-of-way of at least 60 feet in width do not have to provide a transition area.
