Mixed-Use-III District

This zoning district provides opportunities for the revitalization of deteriorated commercial corridors and centers located on arterials by allowing the development of neighborhood-serving commercial uses and vary intensity offices paired with residential uses. Either vertical or horizontal integration of uses is allowed, with an emphasis on tying together the uses through appropriate pedestrian linkages, parking, and public open space (e.g., linkage parks or small plazas). Because of the linear nature of this district, building forms would be less intense than those allowed in either Mixed-Use I or Mixed-Use II and site design will provide a transition from the arterial street frontage to residential properties located behind the Mixed-Use III property. In essence, the Mixed-Use III development will serve as a buffer between the street and the residential development.; The Mixed-Use III designation applies to properties that front Brea Boulevard and a portion of Imperial Highway. Land uses specifically prohibited within the Mixed-Use III designation include regional-serving retail uses, general industrial uses, and any warehousing. Additionally, nonresidential uses and access serving nonresidential developments (except for live/work developments) shall not be allowed on Walnut Avenue.; The residential density range is 6.1 to 18 du per ac. The maximum allowed Floor Area Ratio is 1.00. Residential densities at the higher end of the range will only be allowed for developments that clearly incorporate a mix of uses.
