50 Corner Ketch Rd, Downingtown, PA 19335

Mixed-Use Commercial District

The MU Mixed Use-Commercial District is intended to provide opportunities, under explicit conditions and standards, for commercial, office, and other nonresidential development that is situated to take advantage of the visibility and traffic flows along identified segments of Route 322 within the Township. Such uses are intended primarily, but not exclusively, to serve the needs of Township residents and businesses. Anticipated uses include retail and service commercial, but at a broader scale and of a less village-oriented character than in the VC District; business, public, and other general offices; warehousing, wholesale distribution, and similar light industrial-type operations; and flex-space facilities. It is further intended to provide for a mix of these uses on tracts large enough to incorporate essential site design and access management features, and to avoid a proliferation of individual uses and access points along the Route 322 corridor within the Township. Similarly, the district does not permit the conversion of existing residential properties on small lots for nonresidential purposes.
