North Gus Thomasson Corridor Form Based District

The North Gus Thomasson Corridor is a commercial corridor adjacent to the Casa View Heights neighborhood, which is situated generally northwest of the intersection of Gus Thomasson Road and Oates Drive. In April 2007, the city council adopted the Casa View Heights Neighborhood Plan that included strategies for reconnecting the residential core of the neighborhood with the Gus Thomasson commercial area and revitalizing the corridor. Both the commercial corridor and the Casa View Heights neighborhood are part of a walkable neighborhood sustainability zone that encompasses properties fronting Gus Thomasson Road north from Interstate Highway 30 to the Mesquite city limits.; The purpose of the North Gus Thomasson Corridor zoning district is to integrate residential and neighborhood-scaled commercial functions in a form that increases buildable densities in a pedestrian-oriented, visually attractive environment. With an emphasis on form, rather than the separation of land uses, the district not only encourages, but also mandates building disposition and configuration in a manner that is unique in the City of Mesquite. In doing so, the district is designed to provide a straightforward, visual prescription for revitalization of the North Gus Thomasson corridor over time.
