COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan

Case No. Attachment A
ZA26-0030 Page 2
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 previously discussed.
The property is also part of an area with site specific recommendations:
