Mixed Use 2 District

The purpose of the (MX) Mixed Use Districts is to accommodate various forms and densities of mixed uses, including commercial and residential, to serve the needs of a diverse community, while ensuring that there is a transition to single-family and duplex neighborhoods that protects the integrity of these neighborhoods. The MXD Districts are intended to provide a continuous, pedestrian-friendly urban environment, bringing together the activities of daily living, and reducing dependence on vehicular mobility. The MX regulations are intended to improve the public realm, and to produce functional and beautiful streets and public open spaces with: 1. street level amenities and design elements contributing to the pedestrian experience; 2. pedestrian connectivity augmented in cross block pedestrian passages; and 3. public open spaces that are welcoming, provide a sense of place, and accommodate a range of activities, from walking between destinations, to waiting for transportation, to accommodating social and cultural activities. The MX Districts include MX1, MX2, and MX3. These are differentiated by their intensity and location. The MX1 District allows a low intensity of development and is located along some of the Citys primary corridors, such as Eighth Street, Grand Avenue, Ponce De Leon Boulevard and Giralda Plaza, and often has an adjacency with single-family residential areas. The MX2 District allows a medium intensity of development and is located on Miracle Mile, the Design/Industrial District area, and in the southern and northern-most reaches of the City. The MX3 District allows the highest intensity of development and is located in the Citys downtown area, along North Ponce de Leon Boulevard, Biltmore Way, and South Dixie Highway (Route 1).
