(1) The purpose of the Mixed-Use District is to allow for the establishment of commercial properties integrated with subordinate residential uses. Planned Unit Developments are encouraged in this zone. Developments in the Mixed-Use zone shall be designed so as to integrate the residential and commercial components into one harmonious development and to be compatible with the existing or anticipated uses on the surrounding properties.

(2) While achieving a mix of commercial and residential uses in Mixed Use developments is the goal, the priority is to create a commercial core that is located on the City's major streets, and specifically along Main Street. To accomplish this goal, properties of less than one acre fronting major streets such as Main Street shall be developed as commercial only or a commercial/residential mix with the commercial fronting the street. All properties developed under the Mixed Use District that are one acre or greater shall include at least 50% of the land area as commercial fronting the major street. Master planning of multiple contiguous properties is encouraged in order to integrate the proposed development harmoniously into the surrounding neighborhood.

(3) This land use district, in conjunction with the City's Land Use Element, recognizes that in order for the City to be a well-rounded community, many different housing styles, types and sizes should be permitted.

(4) Architectural design, scale and heights of development are designed to fit the scale and aesthetics of the surrounding properties in the district..
