The purpose of the Mixed Use (M-U) District
is to provide reasonable standards for the orderly expansion of moderate-intensity
commercial and multifamily residential uses in areas where a nucleus
of such uses already exists and where such development can provide
a buffer between higher intensity commercial and industrial uses.
The standards of this district are designed to minimize traffic congestion
on the streets; provide for public conveniences; provide standards
to encourage pedestrian activity, architecturally attractive building
facades and landscaping; and fulfill the other broad purposes of this
chapter.
Development in the M-U Commercial District shall be subject to the provisions and requirements for land developments as delineated in the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (Chapter
289) regardless of the number of lots developed.
Off-street parking and loading space, pedestrian walkways and motor vehicle access shall be provided in accordance with Article
XXV of this chapter. No storage, loading or unloading space shall project into the required yard space, nor shall merchandise be displayed in any yard area.
