Town Center Mixed Use District

This district is composed of certain lands and structures intended to allow flexible site planning and building arrangements for uses under a unified plan which fosters natural resource conservation and reduces traffic congestion. Emphasis is on connectivity and uses that generate a high level of activity. The district is intended to provide a pedestrian-friendly mixture of residential and non-residential uses and provide quality developments which enhance the surrounding area using quality urban design regulations. Residential development should emphasize connectivity by accommodating a mix of housing types and sizes, including small-lot single-family, townhomes, and live work units. Higher intensity residential uses should be located at key intersections and along higher traffic streets to create a transition to less intense residential uses. Access to nearby corridors and centers should be supported with pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure Where a development includes more than one distinct use, additional consideration will be given to allow increases in density for each of the uses, where practicable. Uses should support a variety of housing options, retail and commercial services and employment opportunities.
