A. District Purpose
The MXUOD district provides the opportunity for service -oriented retail,
commercial and mixed -income housing within a pedestrian -friendly
neighborhood with sustainable and environmentally responsive buildings and
infrastructure. The district's close proximity to public transportation will
support a variety of commercial, retail, moderate and high density
multifamily housing types for a broad range of incomes and provides an
opportunity to support existing industrial uses via retail outlets for their
products. The combination of accessibility to public transit and housing will
shape this district as an active mixed -use neighborhood. By bringing
compatible land uses closer together, this district can encourage pedestrian -
friendly environments which will promote the health and well-being of
residents by encouraging physical activity, alternative transportation, and
greater social interaction. Proposed developments should promote a variety of
uses by providing ground floor active uses and open space through reduced
parking capacities.
ORDINANCE NO. 14-14
B. Development Characteristics:
1. Buildings and infrastructure should be sustainable and responsive to the

3. Retail uses may include small neighborhood retailers such as, small service
retail, and destination retail such as specialty retailers, restaurants and

pedestrian oriented right-of-way improvements, will encourage the area to
be a pedestrian friendly environment.
C. Definitions
a. Horizontal Mixed Use: Development where the different types of uses
(Industrial, residential, commercial) are horizontally integrated. For site plans
with multiple buildings, each building may be a separate use.
b. Vertical Mixed Use: Development where the different types of uses
