The mixed-use zones are intended for areas within the community where a combination of residential, commercial, civic, and other uses is desirable in order to strengthen local tax base and employment opportunities, provide diverse housing types, create gathering places, and connect businesses with nearby customers. The mixed-use districts are distinguished by the uses they allow as well as their development standards which are intended to promote a high-quality, compact, walkable, and interesting built environment.

1. Establishment of Mixed-Use Zones. To anticipate and respond to the changing needs of the municipality and implement mixed-use and livability concepts included in the adopted General Plan, the municipality establishes the following zones:
   1. Neighborhood Mixed Use District (NMU). The NMU Zone is intended to create a residential district that allows a small-scale, horizontal or vertical mixture of neighborhood commercial uses to serve the daily needs of area residents. This zone is intended only for small-scale, low-impact uses, to promote a better mixture of uses close to home and within a walkable environment.
   2. Corridor Mixed Use District (CMU). The CMU Zone is intended to promote compact and walkable development, some housing options, and proximity to shopping and services along transit corridors, especially where infill development is desirable. The CMU allows for greater intensity of use and building footprints without disrupting surrounding neighborhoods.
      

1. Schedule of Permitted Uses and Conditions. The specific use listed in the following schedule is permitted in the zone as indicated, subject to the general provisions, special conditions, additional restrictions, and exceptions set forth in this Title. Special use conditions can be found in Chapter 19.42 Specific Use Standards for permanent uses and Chapter 19.44 for temporary uses.
2. Procedure for Multiple Uses (Combination of Uses). If a development proposal involves a combination of uses other than accessory uses as identified in Table 19.36.030, the more restrictive provisions of this Title shall apply. For example, if a portion of a development is subject to conditional use (“C”) approval and the other portion is subject only to permitted use (“P”) review, the entire development shall be reviewed and approved by the conditional use process.
3. Abbreviations. The abbreviations in the schedule mean:
   1. P = Permitted Use. This use is allowed in the zone but may be subject to additional restrictions and approval processes as provided in this Title.
   2. C = Conditional Use. This use is conditional based upon the unique characteristics or potential impacts on the municipality, surrounding neighbors, adjacent land uses, incompatibility in some areas of the zone, or compatibility only if special provisions or conditions are required to mitigate the detrimental impacts of the use. The Planning Commission is the approval authority for uses with this designation.
   3. X = Prohibited Use. This use is prohibited in this zone. Any use not specifically identified in Table 19.36.030 is prohibited in this zone.
