Mixed Use District

The mixed-use zoning category is established for the purpose of providing a compatible mixture of commercial, employment, residential, recreational, civic, and/or cultural uses which are planned and developed as a unit. A mixed-use development should complement surrounding areas through context-sensitive design and an appropriate mix of uses. Among the goals of the mixed-use zoning category are the following: Encourage residential uses in conjunction with commercial activities in order to create an active street life, enhance the vitality of businesses, and reduce vehicular traffic below what these uses would create in independent developments; Provide opportunities for horizontal and vertical mixed-use developments to be combined into unified development sites; Encourage compatibility between residential and commercial uses, offering integrated building patterns and appropriate buffers and transitions where they are warranted given the scale and intensity of uses and Ensure that the appearance and effects of buildings and uses are harmonious with the character topography, economy, society of the area in which they are located.
