Mixed-Use Zone

This chapter is established to provide a zone that allows a mix of specific land uses that are typically found separately in “mutually exclusive” zoning districts. Mixed-use represents a departure from traditional zoning to the extent that it encourages a combination of land uses which might normally be regarded as incompatible. The intent of this zone is to create self-sustaining areas within the community that become traditional neighborhoods, in which residents may walk to work, to shopping, to transit and to recreational facilities. These neighborhoods should provide: A variety of housing opportunities and choices that include a range of household types, family sizes, and incomes; . Streetscape treatments that include pedestrian-friendly features such as build-to lines, rear lot parking for shared uses, wide sidewalks and boulevards to separate pedestrians from vehicles; Pedestrian lighting that is smaller in scale than typical street lighting, street furnishings, such as benches, drinking fountains, sculpture and trash receptacles located in conjunction with transit stops; Large street trees that provide a canopy and shade to reduce the perception of an otherwise broad street width; Bicycle racks and improved, sheltered transit stops with lighting and other amenities; Convenient pedestrian-oriented commercial services; and; Enhanced employment opportunities.
