Some allowances are also made for space occupied by mechanical equipment. In the Denny Triangle, the FAR maximum in all DMC zones is 7. The FAR maximum in DOC 2 is 10. Downtown Office Core 2 Height limit in the Denny Triangle DOC 2 is 300 feet.
Developments can be commercial, residential, or mixed.
This zone is intended to accommodate the future expansion of office activity now concentrated in DOC 1. The DMC zone wraps around the northern, western, and southern edges of the retail and office cores to provide a transition in activity and scale of development between the heart of downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. A wide range of residential and non-residential uses are allowed to promote a diverse mix of activity. Developments can be commercial, residential, or mixed use. Height limits follow the DMC designation.
