The zoning of property as "MS1" Main Street District 1 is intended to provide development opportunities consistent with the existing character within the core of Downtown Mission. Downtown Mission is the original commercial district within the City. The majority of buildings in the core of downtown have been constructed to the public right-of-way. Public parking lots are available and on-street parking is present to serve the downtown businesses. The result is a character unique to downtown that is not found elsewhere in the City. The "MS1" District provides for the majority of retail uses, while encouraging an active streetscape with a pedestrian friendly shopping environment. This district restricts automobile oriented uses and does not allow offices on the ground floor level. The district is also intended to allow multi-story buildings with office and residential uses above the ground floor level. Multi-story buildings with top-floor setbacks are encouraged within this district as described in the Mission/Rock Creek Redevelopment Masterplan. In addition, the district is intended to allow flexibility from the normal development standards found elsewhere in the City.

Section 410.410 Statement of Intent.

[Ord. No. 1188 §19, 12-14-2005]
The zoning of property to the "MXD", Planned Mixed Use District is intended to encourage a variety of land uses in closer proximity to one another than would be possible with more conventional zoning districts and to encourage building configurations that create a distinctive and memorable sense of place. Developments in this district are allowed and expected to have a mixture of residential, office and retail uses, along with public spaces, entertainment uses and other specialty facilities that are compatible in both character and function. Developments are also expected to utilize shared parking facilities linked to multiple buildings and uses by an attractive and logical pedestrian network that places more emphasis on the quality of the pedestrian experience than is generally found in typical suburban development. Buildings are intended to be primarily multi-story structures with differing uses organized vertically rather than the horizontal separation of uses that commonly results from conventional zoning districts. This planned zoning district is intended for those areas Master Planned as office or commercial, or where a special study has been undertaken that recommends a non-residential-focused mixed use development. This district is not intended for areas Master Planned for residential development or for mixed use developments that are residentially focused.
