Mixed Use-Special Use District

The MU-S District is intended to accommodate a Planned Unit Development (PUD) containing residential uses and at least one nonresidential use with the mix of uses achieved through incorporating multiple uses within a single building or by single-use buildings located throughout the site.; This district has applications in a broad range of urban to suburban locations.; The size and intensity of MU-S developments may vary based on their physical context and location. Appropriate setbacks, streetyards, bufferyards, and building heights among other site and design elements will be considered to ensure compatibility of the development on a site-specific basis; The MU-S District provides greater development flexibility in exchange for certain planning and design considerations, and provides an opportunity to propose development which would otherwise not be accommodated by the UDO. Any Planned Unit Development proposed via the MU-S district shall be evaluated on its own merits.; The MU-S district promotes quality design and respects surrounding land use and character with particular consideration given to the architectural details and facades of mixed-use and nonresidential buildings and the design of the streetscape. Elements such as building fenestration and massing, placement of windows, incorporation of awnings and other architectural elements as well as landscaping, street trees, and presence of plazas, pocket parks, public squares and other common public open space will be utilized to ensure a welldesigned development.; The MU-S district shall include pedestrian-oriented design elements that promote walkability such as a system of sidewalks or other all-weather paths linking different parts of the development. Accommodation of multimodal transportation options is also encouraged.
