MUDS 3.4.1 Intent.

Developments vary in both size and location. Due to these differences in scale and context, all standards for a mixed-use district may not be equally applicable to all mixed-use developments. Consequently, different scales of mixed-use development should be defined based on a development’s size and location; design standards should vary as necessary for the different development types.

Standard:

MUDS 3.4.2 Mixed-Use Development Types.

Each MXD shall be classified as one of the defined mixed-use development types based on its size and location. Mixed-Use Design Standards are applicable based on mixed-used development type. There are three mixed-use development types:

  • Mixed-Use Corridor Development
  • Mixed-Use Center
  • Mixed-Use Neighborhood

MUDS 3.4.3 Mixed-Use Corridor Development.

A Mixed-Use Corridor Development is an MXD development that is no larger than 10 acres in gross land area. A Mixed-Use Corridor Development shall be located within a Vision Metcalf Master Plan node or shall abut a thoroughfare, super-collector, or collector.

MUDS 3.4.4 Mixed-Use Center.

A Mixed-Use Center is an MXD development that is larger than 10 acres but less than 40 acres in gross land area. A Mixed-Use Center shall be located within a Vision Metcalf Master Plan node or shall abut a thoroughfare, super-collector, or collector.

MUDS 3.4.5 Mixed-Use Neighborhood.

A Mixed-Use Neighborhood is an MXD development that is no less than 40 acres in gross land area. A Mixed-Use Neighborhood may be located at any location within the city.

MUDS 3.4.6 Gross Land Area.

Gross land area is measured to the centerline of public streets.
