Create a mixed-use, small-town character that complements existing Town development.

Allow a range of small-scale commercial uses within easy walking distance of adjoining residential homes.

Accommodate a variety of housing types and discourage one housing type from dominating the streetscape.

Ensure that commercial uses have a character that is compatible with existing areas in Town, as well as future residences within the development.

Promote pedestrian orientation of streets and buildings.

Develop businesses, streets, parks, and homes that promote social interaction as well as privacy.

Alleviate the perceived impact of high-intensity developments by requiring them to be of a pedestrian scale, bulk, and orientation.

Give priority to pedestrian movement and access to buildings, open spaces, and streets; and discourage design that gives priority to vehicular convenience only.

Create a street circulation system that provides safe and convenient access but discourages fast or heavy traffic that is incompatible with a residential neighborhood.

Use scale, building orientation, and landscaping to establish community identity.

Use open and recreational spaces as a community focal point.

Provide recreational opportunities.

Ensure that new development is compatible with existing neighborhoods.

All development shall meet the following mix requirements:

For determining the mix requirements, when residential and nonresidential uses are located on a single lot but these uses are in separate buildings, each building with a different use shall be given an equivalent lot area that meets all regulations that would be required for the building and use on a lot.

Mixed-use buildings with a mix of nonresidential and multifamily uses shall be considered nonresidential for purposes of calculating the mix requirements.

Areas within the street rights-of-way of existing or proposed streets shall not be considered as part of a residential, nonresidential, or open space lot.

The development shall include at least two of the following housing types: single-family detached, single-family attached, or multifamily. To qualify as one of the two required housing types, a housing type must comprise at least 15% of the total housing units in the development. No housing type may exceed 50% of the total housing units in the development.

When mixed-use developments are first subdivided, each proposed lot within the development shall be designated as a nonresidential, mixed-use, single-family detached, single-family attached, multifamily, or open space lot. Any future development on an individual lot shall conform to this initial use designation for that particular lot.

All loading areas and loading docks shall be located to the sides and rears of buildings. Loading docks shall not be visible from public streets. All loading areas and loading docks shall be set back at least 25 feet from residential property lines.

Outdoor storage or display of materials shall not be permitted overnight.

Trash disposal areas shall be located within buildings or within a screened area that completely hides the trash and is located to the side or rear of a building. All outdoor trash disposal areas shall be set back at least 25 feet from residential property lines.

Open space requirements. All developments in the Neighborhood Mixed Use (NMU) District shall meet a 20% open space requirement, which shall consist of a mix of open space, passive open space, active recreational facilities, or other similar types of open space. No portion of any building lots, street right-of-way area, or stormwater management facilities, except permanent wet ponds, may be used in calculating the minimum open space requirements set forth above.

Residential dwelling units shall be located within 800 feet of some type of open space as defined herein.
