Market and Distribution District.

The MKT Market and Distribution District provides for and encourages food-related uses such as production, processing, and wholesaling, as well as transport, and similar activities essential to the commerce and health of the City. Limited supporting uses such as office, retail, service, and other uses normally desiring to locate in this type of district are also permissible.; In the MKT Market and Distribution District within the greater Eastern Market Area, the focus is on the expansion of existing, and the attraction of new, food-related industries outside the historic Market core. Provisions are made for greenway setbacks along certain streets to be used for vegetative screening of warehouse and production uses from residential uses, and as accessible open space. To avoid visually dominating existing buildings of historical character, building heights are limited around the historic Market core, unless the building contributes to the character of the market by containing a food production use. To avoid potentially overwhelming existing residential properties, building heights are also limited in areas likely to see large amounts of new construction.
