Title 18 - Unified Development Ordinance

18.275.010 Statement of Intent

The zoning of property to the MXD, Planned Mixed Use District, is intended to create a dynamic walkable, mixed-use environment, provide a range of housing choices in close proximity to each other, and to create quality usable public spaces. In addition, the MXD district proposes high standards of design for buildings, infrastructure, and landscaping as well as guarantees a high degree of pedestrian and vehicular connectivity. Streets and squares feel enclosed by buildings located close to the streets. Streets will be utilized for on-street parking but will be designed to allow for slow speeds. As part of this District, the development process will be expedited for developments. This planned zoning district is intended for those areas designated on the Comprehensive Plan as office or commercial, or where a special study has been undertaken that recommends a nonresidential-focused mixed use development. This District is not intended for areas designated on the Comprehensive Plan​​​​​​​ for residential development.
