The purpose and intent of the university mixed-use neighborhood overlay district is to provide multifamily housing options within an active, pedestrian friendly neighborhood, and with residential units located on upper floors while the ground level contains nonresidential uses. Development and uses should attract university students on a daily basis and provide year-round activities to encourage students to remain in the city on weekends and summers. The district provides an opportunity for mixed housing and commercial uses, serving both students and adjacent residents.

(Ord. No. 1914A, 2-18-2016)

Requirements for permitted uses, conditional uses, lot area, lot width, yards, lot coverage, building height, signage, and park fees remain the same as the underlying zoning district to which the overlay zoning is applied unless specifically described in this overlay district.

(Ord. No. 1914A, 2-18-2016)

Applicants must apply for a zoning map district change within the overlay map permission area for the B-1A designation. No party other than the owner of the property or agents of the owner may apply for the B-1A university mixed-use neighborhood overlay zoning. Applications may also require a conditional use permit. Procedures for zoning changes and amendments are further elaborated in Chapter 19.69.
