Commercial Mixed Use-1 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-1 District is intended to provide for neighborhood serving commercial, office, and employment uses. Residential uses are encouraged above the ground floor. Compatible nonresidential uses should be located within walking distance to the established residential neighborhoods they are designated to serve. Auto-oriented uses are not appropriate in this district. Typical retail uses vary from 1,000 to 15,000 sq ft of ground floor area.
