One of the primary aspects of mixed-use zoning is to allow greater density, while emphasizing existing community positives such as walking, bicycling, and alternative modes of travel. To maximize space and use, the mixed-use overlay district requires zero green space.

Materials used for construction, rehabilitation, and remodel must all be consistent with the standards and requirements of the respective properties as found in Sec. 10-4-6-9 'Decorative Masonry'.

Non-residential buildings facing a street, will be at least thirty five percent (35%) transparent at street level allowing pedestrian viewing and daylight inside. Upper levels facing the street are encouraged to maximize windows wherever possible.

As required per Sec. 10-9-6 (Sign Regulations Within Business Districts).

The design intent of mixed-use development is to encourage pedestrian and alternative methods of transportation. New mixed-use development shall maintain a one-toone ratio of reserved parking for each residential unit offered in the development or site.

Any property which is zoned B-1 or B-2 and is located in the mixed-use area as reflected in the map set forth in this Section is eligible for a special use as provided in this chapter. In the event at any time property shown on the following map is zoned other than B-1 or B-2, such property shall not be eligible for a special use as provided in this chapter.

As required per Sec. 10-4-6 (Site Plan Review).
