The purpose of this mixed use district is to accommodate compatible residential and commercial uses on larger tracts of land and to maximize opportunities for orderly economic development. Typical mixed use designs include a core of community facilities (schools, day care centers, post offices, churches) and small retail establishments (corner markets, dry cleaners) adjacent to, or surrounded by, a variety of housing types including single-family detached homes, townhouses, apartment buildings and duplexes. Public or open space to promote public gathering is encouraged. The mixed use districts are intended to facilitate the development and redevelopment of areas suited to a combination of these compatible commercial and residential uses.
