The purposes of the individual industrial zones and the manner in which they are applied are as follows:
A. 
MU (Mixed-Use) Zone. The MU Zone is applied to areas appropriate for medium to high-density residential development and retail, office and service uses. This designation allows for vertical integration of compatible uses, whereby such uses share the same building or lot, or horizontal integration of uses, where compatible uses are located next to each other. Single-use projects comprised only of residential or commercial uses are also allowed. Plazas, courtyards, outdoor dining, transit stops and other public gathering spaces and community amenities, such as art in public places, are strongly encouraged. This zone allows residential densities between 10.1 and 36 dwelling units per gross acre and a floor area ratio (FAR) of up to 0.75. For projects which include residential and nonresidential components, the density requirements shall apply to the residential component and the FAR shall apply to the nonresidential component. The MU Zone is consistent with the Mixed-Use land use designation of the General Plan.
B. 
MU-E (Mixed-Use Entertainment) Zone. The MU-E Zone is applied to areas appropriate for high-density residential development with commercial, office, institutional, and business uses emphasizing retail, and entertainment activities. Such development is intended to facilitate the grouping of innovative housing options with employment uses, entertainment activities, public gathering spaces, transit stations and other community amenities, such as art in public places. The focus of the development and design standards is on ensuring that large-scale mixed-use projects are functionally integrated through the relationships between location and types of uses and structures, the efficient use of land, optimal site planning and design elements. This zone allows residential densities between 10.1 and 36 dwelling units per gross acre and a floor area ratio (FAR) of up to 1.0. For projects which include residential and nonresidential components, the density requirements shall apply to the residential component and the FAR shall apply to the nonresidential component. The MU-E Zone is consistent with the Mixed-Use land use designation of the General Plan.
C. 
DV (Downtown Village) Zone. The Downtown Village land use designation allows for a variety of commercial uses with a strong pedestrian orientation and design that enhances the City's small-town character. Development in these areas will be subject to additional design and development standards intended to support the Downtown area. Mixed commercial, office, and residential development (residential uses above or beside commercial uses) is also permitted in the Downtown Village designation. Single-use projects, comprised only of residential or commercial uses are also allowed. This zone allows residential densities between 10.1 and 40 dwelling units per gross acre and a floor area ratio (FAR) of up to 2.0. For projects which include residential and nonresidential components, the density requirements shall apply to the residential component and the FAR shall apply to the nonresidential component. The DV Zone is compatible with the Downtown Village land use designation of the General Plan.
(Ord. 24-13, 10/1/2024)
A. 
Allowed land uses. Table 2-2 (Allowed Uses and Permit Requirements) indicates the uses allowed within each Mixed-Use Zone and the planning permit required to establish each use, in compliance with Article 6 (Permit Procedures).
B. 
Prohibited land uses. Any table cell with a "—" means that the listed land use is expressly prohibited in that specific zone.
C. 
Land uses not listed. For land uses not listed in Table 2-2 (Allowed Uses and Permit Requirements), the provisions of Chapter 17.105 (Interpretation of Regulations) shall apply.
D. 
Site plan and design review required. All construction activities (e.g., additions, alterations, construction, reconstruction, or remodeling) shall require site plan, design review, and water efficient landscape and irrigation approval in compliance with Chapter 17.630 (Site Plan and Design Review) and Chapter 17.325 (Water Efficient Landscape and Irrigation).
E. 
Applicable regulations. Where the last column in the tables ("Specific Use Regulations") includes a section number, the regulations in the referenced section apply to the use; however, provisions in other sections of this Development Code may also apply.
(Ord. 24-13, 10/1/2024)
Subdivisions, new land uses and structures, and alterations to existing land uses and structures, shall be designed, constructed, and established in compliance with the requirements in Tables 2-8 (Development Standards for Mixed-Use and Commercial Developments within the Mixed-Use Zones), 2-9 (Development Standards for Small Lot Residential Detached Developments in Mixed-Use Zones) in addition to the standards and guidelines in Article 3 (Site Planning and Development Standards) (e.g., landscaping, parking and loading, signs, etc.), Article 4 (Standards for Specific Land Uses) (e.g., outdoor storage, etc.), and Chapter 17.325 (Water Efficient Landscape and Irrigation).
A. 
Mixed-Use development standards. For purposes of the mixed-use development standards, projects shall be evaluated based on the type of development proposed. Table 2-8 (Development Standards for Mixed-Use and Commercial Developments within the Mixed-Use Zones) regulates the development of vertical and horizontal mixed-use projects and standalone commercial developments. Table 2-9 (Development Standards for Small Lot Residential Detached Developments in Mixed-Use Zones) regulates the development of small lot subdivisions. A mixed-use project may involve one, or more, types of development. Each development type shall be evaluated by its corresponding standards. Where ambiguity exist, the Director shall have the authority to determine the appropriate application of these standards.
B. 
Mixed-use zone standards for mixed-use and commercial developments. Mixed-use and commercial developments located within the mixed-use zones shall comply with the following development standards:
