It is the purpose of this zoning classification to provide the opportunity for the location of professional offices in mixed-use dwellings, defined herein as "professional mixed-use dwellings," in transitional areas between business development and residential development, in areas which currently consist of such professional mixed-use dwellings and in areas which are not necessarily appropriate for standard commercial, industrial or residential activity.

In a PM Professional Mixed-Use District, the regulations of this article shall apply.

In a PM Professional Mixed-Use District, a building may be erected, altered or used and a lot or premises may be used for any of the following purposes and for no other:

In a PM Professional Mixed-Use District, each lot shall have a frontage of at least 75 feet, a depth of at least 100 feet and an area of at least 7,500 square feet, except that, if a plot having a frontage of not less than 50 feet and containing an area of not less than 7,500 square feet was in one single and separate ownership on December 11, 1989, a building may be erected or altered on such plot, provided that all provisions of this Code are complied with, and further provided that such single and separate ownership is continuously maintained following the aforesaid date.

In a PM Professional Mixed-Use District:

In a PM Professional Mixed-Use District, no building or structure shall exceed 32 feet in height.

No building in a PM Professional Mixed-Use District shall have a roof pitch which is less than four inches to each one foot on the main part thereof, except that, upon due cause shown, the Zoning Board of Appeals may grant a special exception.

In a PM Professional Mixed-Use District, the building area shall not exceed 40% of the lot area.

In a PM Professional Mixed-Use District, the required front yard depth for buildings and structures shall be the same as the average yard depth of the existing buildings within 200 feet on each side of the lot on the same side of the street, but no front yard shall be required to have a depth greater than 40 feet. Where the foregoing does not control, the minimum depth shall be 30 feet back from the street line.

In a PM Professional Mixed-Use District, there shall be two side yards, one on each side, the aggregate widths of which shall be at least 24 feet. Neither side yard shall be less than 12 feet wide.

Accessory buildings in a PM Professional Mixed-Use District shall contain an area of not more than 600 square feet and an average height of not more than 14 feet as measured by the average grade adjacent to such building. The yard area occupied by such accessory building shall, however, be included in computing the maximum percentage of lot area which may be built upon. No part of an accessory building shall be used for office or dwelling purposes; nor shall any part of an accessory building be nearer the rear or side lot line than five feet. No lot shall have more than two accessory buildings.

There shall be suitable landscaping on lots containing a professional mixed-use dwelling and there shall be required, along the rear and side lot lines, a buffer planting strip, at least five feet in width, with automated sprinklered landscaping to screen surrounding properties as determined by the Planning Board.
