The purpose of the Mixed Use Development District is to permit commercial and/or residential uses in a well-planned environment. Development controls are established to encourage commercial uses along Ventnor Avenue in support of the City Commercial District and residential uses along the residential neighborhoods formed along east/west-bound streets if a mixed use development option is selected. Development will be encouraged to blend in with surrounding neighborhoods by maintaining limits on building envelope scale. Development must maintain a unique landmark character which is complementary to the surrounding neighborhood and reminiscent of early 20th century architecture.

The use, height and area regulations established here or those regulations set forth elsewhere in this chapter, where applicable to these sections, and general regulations of Article XVIII are the regulations in the Mixed Use Development District.
