Sec. 704 - Development Standards for Mixed-Use Zoning Districts Sec. 705 - Additional Standards and Regulations

Sec. 701. Purpose and Objectives: The two classes of Mixed Use (MU) Districts included in this Development Code are designed to be integrated into centralized community downtowns or community core areas to allow various mixtures of commercial and residential uses and to replace the Central Commercial land use designation in previous Zoning Ordinances. Mixed Use zoning districts are intended to allow a vertical and horizontal mix of business, office, and housing within common building structures as well as encourage private investment, revitalization of community commercial areas and visual community distinction. Standards in the Mixed Use district are intended to reduce reliance on the automobile, create pedestrian-oriented environments, and support social interaction by allowing resident to work, shop and play within walking distance to where they live.
