Commercial Mixed Use-2 District

The commercial mixed use districts are intended to accommodate retail, service and commercial uses and to ensure that commercial-zoned areas are compatible with the character of existing neighborhoods. While the districts primarily accommodate commercial uses, apartments and upper-story residential are allowed in order to promote live/work and mixed use opportunities. To provide for additional housing choice, single-family detached is permitted in the CMUdistricts. The CMU- districts are not intended to provide for areas exclusively dominated by any one particular use but provide for neighborhoods that successfully integrate several types of compatible uses together.; The CMU-2 District is intended to provide for commercial, office, and employment uses that serve through traffic as well as surrounding neighborhoods. Residential uses are allowed on the ground floor but upper-story units are encouraged. Typical centers may include anchor tenants up to 80,000 sq ft of ground floor area. Uses in this district are intended to be located within convenient traveling distance from the multiple neighborhoods they are designated to serve.
