COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Future Land Use Plan
The site is designated “Mixed Use”.
Purpose and Definition: To provide 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 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.
CITIZEN INPUT: No SPIN or Corridor Planning Committee meetings were held for this
request.
