Mixed-Use Residential District

The objective of the Mixed-Use Residential District is intended to provide opportunities for new development and redevelopment in existing well-connected, centrally located neighborhoods. MUR standards will allow a diverse range of housing that is compatible with existing development patterns. A range of residential housing types may be permitted and will be the majority of new development, including detached single-family houses, duplexes, patio homes, townhomes, live/work units, or apartments. Some small scale commercial uses may be allowed on larger streets if the buildings are scaled to the neighborhood and the uses are those that are compatible with the neighborhood. These could include a church, small boutique clothing store, doctor’s office, day care center, coffee shop, or dry cleaner. The MUR district is intended to accommodate new growth in areas near activity centers and major streets and to allow for a vertical or horizontal mix of uses on sites. All new development andredevelopment will be pedestrian-oriented and shall be accessible via local streets to parks, schools, and nearby commercial centers. Development will be designed so that its form, height, and proportion are compatible with existing adjacent development.
