Mixed-Use – Commercial Zone

Create Opportunities for More Intense Mixed-Use Development. The MU-C zone implements the Mixed-Use Comprehensive Plan designation, providing opportunities to develop a mixture of larger-scale commercial and residential uses on sites that are considerably larger than those located within MU-N zones. Mixed-use developments may occur vertically in the same structure, or horizontally side-by-side in the same development, but not necessarily on the same parcel; Balance Transportation Needs on Large Sites. The standards of the MU-C zone allow development of large-scale lots/parcels with a mix of commercial and residential uses, characterized by design amenities that accommodate pedestrians and motorists equally; Create New Efficient Street Grids. The standards of the MU-C zone facilitate completion of street grid patterns from existing and new streets, creating a transportation and development framework that accommodates pedestrian, bicycle, transit and automobile travel in the area; Enhance Economic Viability of Mixed-Use Projects. The MU-C zone allows flexibility in development standards to allow a complimentary mixture of uses within a development, but not necessarily on the same parcel; Create an Attractive Streetscape. The MU-C zone standards limit ground floor retail uses to reflect a sense of a village center, rather than a shopping center, creating an interesting and attractive pedestrian environment.
