Downtown
(1 – Convention Center)

Under the current draft of the TOD Ordinance, the planned Convention Center station is the only one on the new rail line that will have the "Downtown" designation.

The Downtown district has an overall density of greater than 75 dwelling units per acre (net). Typical residential uses include mid-rise and high-rise apartments and condominiums.

Because of its placement in a business district, the entire zone is considered a Gateway zone, with no Midway or Transition zones.
