The intent of the mixed use zoning overlay is to allow for mixed commercial/residential structures in certain areas of the city designated as appropriate in the city’s Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of the overlay is to encourage higher density residential development close to shopping, transportation, employment, and other amenities and to encourage commercial development that serves residential areas. An additional purpose is to allow combinations of use within one building while still allowing development meeting the standards of the underlying zones. Mixed use structures along public streets shall have a minimum of two uses, such as commercial uses with or without enclosed parking on the ground floor and residential uses above the ground floor. Mixed use structures along private streets and/or that have limited visibility to public streets may be allowed to provide only residential uses with or without enclosed parking on the ground floor. (Ord. 1492 § 4 (Exh. D), 2021; Ord. 1282 § 1, 2011; Ord. 1138 § 4, 2003).
