The Mixed Use Land Use category provides an option for large-scale, master -planned, mixed use developments that combine land uses such as office facilities, shopping, dining, parks, and residential uses. The definition for the Mixed Use Category is below as well as applicable design standards. Definition: The range of activities permitted, the diverse natural features, and the varying proximity to thoroughfares of areas in the Mixed Use category necessitates comprehensively planned and coordinated development. New development must be compatible with and not intrusive to existing development. Further, special attention should be placed on the design and transition between different uses. Typically, the Mixed Use designation is intended for medium- to higher -intensity office buildings, hotels, commercial activities, retail centers, and residential uses. Nuisance -free, wholly enclosed light manufacturing and assembly uses that have no outdoor storage are permitted if designed to be compatible with adjacent uses. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space, Public/Semi-Public, Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Retail Commercial, and Office Commercial categories previously discussed. Scale and Context Criteria Buildings and their pedestrian entrances are to be oriented towards internal streets. Open Space: Consider environmental elements as "features," rather than constraints. Emphasis shall be placed on preservation of existing wooded areas and stream corridors. Avoid channeling or piping of streams. Open spaces should be designed to add value to proposed development and not as an "afterthought". Use the topography as an advantage, do not flatten the site. Overall Character and Design: Buildings are to be designed to be pedestrian friendly. Buildings shall have shallow setbacks and sidewalks. Buildings are to be oriented towards other buildings (across the street) or towards open spaces. Minimize the impact of surface parking. Street Design Standards: Internal streets to be designed to accommodate both automobiles and pedestrians.
