This district, compatible with the Mixed Use Future Land Use Category of the Master Plan, is intended to permit a mixture of residential, office and commercial land uses but not necessarily in downtown style buildings. This district is intended to accommodate users which can provide office, personal services and commercial goods for visitors to and residents of the city including automobile related uses which would ordinarily be incompatible with the character of residential districts. These uses are principally intended to serve the community and M-21 traffic. Areas proposed for this district will be reviewed with consideration toward traffic, impact on adjacent areas, size and access to the lot, and whether or not the proposed area helps prevent strip commercial development.
