With the desire to achieve sustainable development forms, the Mixed Use land use category is established. Mixed-use development approaches offer opportunities for people to live close to work or near transit stops, walk to neighborhood stores and parks, enjoy indoor and outdoor entertainment close to home, and experience vibrant pedestrian districts. The Mixed Use designation includes two activity areas: Town Center and Visitor Serving Center. The Mixed Use designation is to allow mixed use development, thereby, providing maximum opportunity and flexibility for a broad array of long term residential, commercial, institutional, and business uses within walking distance to multiple land use opportunities. The mixed use concept is embraced for the Town Center Mixed Use and the Visitor Serving Center Mixed Use areas.

   The Mixed Use designation encourages a mixture of compatible and synergistic land uses, such as residential with compatible non-residential uses. Residential live-work, single family attached residences, and multi-family units are permitted. The Mixed Use residential land use is a high density category, and may include compact residential lots, attached homes, condominiums, multi-family - for-sale and rental units located conveniently to services and transportation. Ideally, these neighborhoods will have convenient access to recreational and daycare facilities. Compatible non-residential uses including, but are not limited to: civic and community facilities, City Hall, Stater Bros. Stadium, visitor serving accommodations, senior center, Central Park, farmer’s markets, museums, libraries, movie theaters, shopping and dining, and employment opportunities in medical/business offices. Toward this end, the following districts are established:

   (a)   Mixed Use: Town Center

      The Town Center is envisioned to be the heart or main focal point of the City. It will include a “main street” and a downtown mixed use area that allows for a variety of uses including residential. Uses in this zoning district must comply with the Airport Safety review process and the SCLA Land Use Plan.

   (b)   Mixed Use: Visitor Serving Center

      The Visitor Serving Center area will provide an opportunity for hotel accommodations and resort facilities related to Stater Bros.’ Stadium and serve as a venue for entertainment uses such as community events, concerts, and festivals.
