Mixed/Multiuse Zoning District

Consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation of Mixed/Multiuse. This zoning district allows mixed/multiuse projects combining a complementary mix of housing and nonresidential uses along designated corridors. Such projects can be vertically integrated (commercial ground-floor frontage with residential above the first floor) or horizontal (housing adjacent to commercial and office uses). The scale, size and mix of land uses vary based on the location and character of the surrounding land uses. Densities up to 35 residential units per acre are allowed.; Create opportunities for new mixed/multiuse development along major corridors to provide by-right housing opportunities, reduce automobile dependence, improve air quality and revitalize and transition underutilized sites; Expand available land capacity and zoning tools to accommodate the city's projected need for housing; Encourage commercial and mixed/multiuse development at key intersections and nodes along major corridors and direct exclusively residential developments mid-block; Create a pedestrian-oriented mix of uses with convenient access between area neighborhoods, and among housing, employment centers, and retail services; Facilitate well-designed projects that combine residential and nonresidential uses, either vertically or horizontally, to promote a better balance of jobs, services and housing; Stimulate economic development and reinvestment based upon recognized urban design principles that allow property owners to respond with flexibility to market forces; and Encourage the development of a unique zone character through a streetscape that provides attractive features (e.g., landscaping, niche or linear parks, public spaces, courtyards.) designed to integrate the public realm (e.g., streets, sidewalks.) with development on adjacent private property.
