Mixed Use Residential.
[2002 Code § 16.24.060; amended [Amended 4-17-2023 by Ord. No. 2023-02]]
In order to better utilize existing buildings within commercial districts and to expand the available supply of housing within the community, mixed use residential may be permitted as a conditional use in those zones specified provided that the use and/or structures shall adhere to the minimum standards of the particular zone and the following:
a.
The building and the floor area in which the mixed use is proposed shall be in existence at the time of adoption of this chapter and not more than one dwelling unit shall be located within the building.
b.
The dwelling unit shall be confined to the upper stories of the building. Street level space shall be occupied by the principal uses permitted in the district.
c.
No dwelling unit shall contain more than two bedrooms. Dens, lofts, and other such areas capable of serving as bedrooms shall be construed to be bedrooms.
d.
Plans showing the overall use of the building shall be submitted. Any building which is in a state of disrepair or violates the property maintenance or health and safety standards of the Borough shall be repaired or rehabilitated to conform to the applicable municipal requirements.
f.
The commercial use of the property shall be a permitted principal use within the zone district.
g.
Off-street parking shall be provided for the dwelling unit unless the municipal agency determines that there is sufficient existing parking on site to support both the commercial and residential use or that there is available on-street parking in reasonable proximity to the building to support the mixed-use. A length of 23 feet per on-street parking space with sufficient clearance to street intersections or driveways shall be used in calculating the number of available on-street parking spaces.
