The purpose of the Mixed-Use Non-Residential District is to provide areas for well-designed, functional, and attractive development with indoor retail, office, services, and institutional uses. Land uses are envisioned that promote the best possible building designs, development of public streets and utilities, and conservation of environmentally sensitive areas. The district should be located in areas that continue orderly development and concentration of moderate commercial uses on or within close proximity to major thoroughfares.

The uses permitted in this district are those that may benefit from the high degree of visibility but do not generate large volumes of traffic. Major retail users are discouraged and residential uses are prohibited in the district.

The following uses, standards, and area regulations have been developed based upon this purpose, which is in accord with the findings and recommendations of the Salisbury Comprehensive Plan.
