B. Uses permitted on Secondary Streets and permitted with limitations on Primary Streets. The following uses are permitted in the Core district on Secondary Streets. On Primary Streets, these uses are permitted provided they are separated from the street and/or civic open space for at least 20 feet by a use permitted on Primary Streets on all stories as depicted in Figure 3‐2. 1. Parking Garages and Lots, whether principle or accessory use. 2. Places of Assembly such as theaters, cinemas, or bowling allies which require large ex‐ panses of blank facades; however, the lobbies, concession areas, conference rooms, and ticket facilities associated with these uses may be located on Primary Streets. Primary Streets Parts of Florida may require retrofitting settlement patterns to achieve a successful TOD environment. Depending upon both the physical and regulatory situations, accommodating uses that are typically contrary to traditional TOD may be part of the transition. Utilizing “Primary” and “Secondary” street designations allows municipalities to accommodate and organize a wide range uses without compromising the main pedestrian routes. Designating the streets leading to transit stations as “Primary,” ensures those areas will be lined by the fronts of buildings containing active uses. Florida TOD Guidebook
