MIXED USE COMMUNITY (MU) DISTRICT

Section: 17.27.010 Mixed Use Community (MU).

17.27.010 Mixed Use Community (MU). A. Purpose and Intent. A Mixed-Use Community District is intended to provide a balanced mix of residen- tial and employment opportunities to create focal points of activity in the form of mixed-use centers, nodes, or corridors. A Mixed-Use Community District supports service, commercial, employment, and housing needs of established and growing communities. The Mixed-Use Community District standards create efficient use of land and public services, foster a mix of housing and employment opportunities, provide transportation op- tions and reduce reliance on the automobile, provide business services close to major employment centers, and ensure compatibility of mixed-use developments with the surrounding area. A Mixed Use Community District is intended to provide neighborhood-scaled pe- destrian-oriented mixed-use centers and corridors with a range of residential, retail, service, and office uses that are compatible with adjacent development. B. Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements. The following land uses are allowed in the Mixed Use Community Zone District as provided by Section 17.06.050 (Land Uses and Permit Tables), subject to the land use permit and minimum lot area shown for each use, applicable specific standards, and all other applica- ble provisions of this chapter.

In such cases, the minimum building site area shall be calculated as follows: One acre (forty-three thousand five hundred sixty (43,560) square feet) divided by the -DL factor shown on the zon- ing map, corrected to remove the average percentage of a parcel taken up by road rights-of-way (twenty (20) percent) equals the net minimum building site area re- quired per unit. (Example: 43,560 sq. ft. ÷ -DL 5.5 = 7,920 sq. ft. x .8 = 6,336 sq. ft. net minimum building site area per unit.)
