7.2.304: MX-M: MIXED-USE MEDIUM SCALE#MX-M

A. Purpose#

The MX-M zone district accommodates a mix of, for example, commercial, retail, office, multi-family residential, and civic uses. Land uses are as indicated in Table 7.3.2-A: Base and NNA-O District Use Table. MX-M zone districts are intended to accommodate the development of new activity centers in emerging growth areas, as well as to promote the adaptive reuse or redevelopment of single-use commercial centers that are vacant or underused, or of other obsolete buildings or properties. Activities and uses within MX-M zone districts may be horizontally or vertically mixed based on their density and intensity but should be organized in a compact pattern that promotes pedestrian activity, provides a variety of outdoor gathering spaces, supports multimodal access and circulation, and minimizes impacts on established residential neighborhoods. The layout of permitted use types shall be as shown in a Land Use Plan approved pursuant to Section 7.5.514 (Land Use Plan).

B. Dimensional Standards#

The following table is a summary of key district-specific dimensional standards. Complete dimensional standards, including standards for accessory structures, are included in Part 7.4.2 (Dimensional Standards) and Section 7.3.304 (Accessory Uses).
