[Ord. No. 1188 §19, 12-14-2005]
The zoning of property to the "MXD", Planned Mixed Use District
is intended to encourage a variety of land uses in closer proximity
to one another than would be possible with more conventional zoning
districts and to encourage building configurations that create a distinctive
and memorable sense of place. Developments in this district are allowed
and expected to have a mixture of residential, office and retail uses,
along with public spaces, entertainment uses and other specialty facilities
that are compatible in both character and function. Developments are
also expected to utilize shared parking facilities linked to multiple
buildings and uses by an attractive and logical pedestrian network
that places more emphasis on the quality of the pedestrian experience
than is generally found in typical suburban development. Buildings
are intended to be primarily multi-story structures with differing
uses organized vertically rather than the horizontal separation of
uses that commonly results from conventional zoning districts. This
planned zoning district is intended for those areas Master Planned
as office or commercial, or where a special study has been undertaken
that recommends a non-residential-focused mixed use development. This
district is not intended for areas Master Planned for residential
development or for mixed use developments that are residentially focused.
