Mixed-Use Overlay District
§ 280-82 Purpose.
The purpose of a Mixed-Use Overlay District (hereafter referred to as "MUD") is to provide for a wide range of residential, commercial, business, professional office and light industrial uses and to provide for accessory uses and compatible public and semipublic environment by fostering innovative building and open space masses resulting in an aesthetically attractive working environment.
