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 exis ting
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 ce nters, and
residential uses. Nuisance-free, wholly enclosed light manufacturing and
assembly uses that have no outdo or storage are permitted if designed to
be compatible with adjacent uses. Other su itable 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.
The property is also part of an area with site specific recommendations:
Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan
Davis Blvd. is currently a 7-lane undivided arterial. The ultimate cross
section specified in the Master Thoroughfare Plan is a 130 ft. - 140 ft.
