1.

Existing RSM properties: For existing properties converted to RSM (Small Lot Residential Mix) District classification at the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived:

a.

Where conditions of zoning regulating density have been attached to the property, maximum density shall remain as established in such conditions.

b.

Where no conditions of zoning regulating density have been attached to the property, maximum density shall be the Base Max described in Table 2.5 unless administratively reviewed and approved for bonus increases, according to the criteria set forth in subsection C. of this section.

2.

New RSM properties: For property rezoned to the RSM (Small Lot Residential Mix) District classification after the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, density shall be established by the City Council at the time of approval, based upon the criteria set forth in subsection C. of this section.

A.

The purpose and intent of the City Council in establishing all districts designated as Mixed-Use (MU-1, MU-2, MU-3, MU-4 and MU-5) Zoning Districts are as follows:

1.

To encourage the development of master or comprehensively planned, mixed-use developments;

2.

To permit flexible and compatible arrangements of residential, commercial, office, institutional, and civic uses;

3.

To offer a variety of housing options, including multifamily residential and single-family attached housing of various densities, upper-floor residential units over nonresidential space, or active adult and/or senior housing;

4.

To implement the future development map of the city's most current comprehensive plan;

5.

To maintain harmony of scale, intensity, and design of character areas with varying housing options;

6.

To accommodate and promote mixed-use buildings with amenities and services provided by a variety of nonresidential uses, as appropriate in the activity centers established by the comprehensive plan;

7.

To promote the health and well-being of residents through the development of living environments that accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists;

8.

To encourage a sense of community through design that promotes social interaction; and

9.

To reduce automobile traffic and congestion and promote the use of transit by encouraging appropriate development densities.

(Ord. of 8-2-2017, § 1(2.18.1))

Sec. 2.18.2. - Mixed-use district densities.

The following standards only apply to rezoning applications initiated by the owners of the subject property or the authorized agent of the owners. In the interest of economic development and to spur redevelopment, applications initiated by the city are not required to comply with the standards in this section.

Prior to the submittal of an application for a land disturbance permit or building permit, an applicant for development of a city-initiated MU-zoned property, shall comply with the following standards. The application will be reviewed administratively by the director.

B.

Submittal of master development plan. The submittal package for rezoning to the MU-1 (Mixed-Use Low Density) District shall include all items indicated by the application and instruction form established by the planning department. The master development plan shall include:

1.

Pre-application meeting minutes. Applicants shall provide documentation showing that the required pre-application meeting occurred.

2.

Master development plan. A master development plan shall illustrate the project showing the location of proposed uses identified by type, site functions, and internal vehicular and pedestrian circulation, along with proposed access points (note: prefer multi-modal access plan as specified in the overlays).

3.

Master development standards. An applicant for rezoning to the MU-1 (Mixed-Use Low Density) District shall submit the following with the rezoning application:

a.

A set of tables, matrices, and/or diagrams shall document the proposed standards that will regulate the permitted use, density, lot dimensions, setbacks, site and building form for each area identified in the master concept plan, and indicate all instances where proposed standards vary from this division.

b.

Documentation regarding eligibility for density bonuses sought by the applicant (see section 2.19.6).

c.

A summary of the anticipated maintenance and ownership of streets and open spaces.

d.

Proposed gross and net nonresidential floor area, maximum number of residential dwelling units by type and minimum lot size, and amount of enhanced open space.

4.

Sec. 2.19.5. - Mixed-use building restrictions.

The following restrictions shall also apply to mixed-use buildings:

A.

1.

Existing MU-1 properties: For properties converted to the MU-1 (Mixed-Use Low Density) District classification at the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived:

a.

Where conditions of zoning regulate density on the property, the maximum density shall remain as established in any conditions of zoning attached to the property.

b.

Where no conditions of zoning regulating density have been attached to the property, the maximum density shall be the Base Max described in Table 2.18 unless administratively reviewed and approved for bonus increases, according to the criteria set forth in subsection C. of this section.

2.
