Chapter 17.96 — MU, MIXED USE OVERLAY

The overlay designation MU, Mixed Use Overlay, is intended to provide opportunities for mixed-use development, including live-work, office, service, and under-represented retail uses in addition to required residential uses, either within existing structures or in redeveloped buildings that reflect the character of the Old Town Historic District. For the purposes of this chapter, the application of this overlay designation encompasses parcels on the east side of Washington Street between Creek and Pedroni Streets. In recognition that this area along Washington Street is an extension of the primary retail commercial area of the Town but is also part of the Old Town Historic neighborhood, it is the intent of this designation to: (A) continue the attractive, walkable, and active Washington Street experience; (B) provide additional opportunities for small-scale commercial uses; and (C) integrate these commercial uses in a way that complements the existing character of Old Town.

This designation shall apply to the specified parcels/areas indicated on the Zoning Map. (Ord. 21-501 § 9)
