1005.07 Community Mixed -Use (CMU) District <br />A. Statement of Purpose: The Community Mixed -Use District <br />is designed to encourage the development or redevelopment <br />of mixed -use centers that may include housing, office, <br />commercial, park, civic, institutional, and open space uses. <br />Complementary uses should be organized into cohesive <br />districts in which mixed- or single -use buildings are <br />connected by streets, sidewalks and trails, and open space to <br />create a pedestrian- oriented environment. The CMU District <br />is intended to be applied to areas of the City guided for <br />redevelopment or intensification. <br />B. Regulating Plan: The CMU District must be guided by <br />a regulating plan for each location where it is applied. <br />A regulating plan uses graphics and text to establish <br />requirements pertaining to the following kinds of parameters. <br />Where the requirements for an area governed by a regulating <br />plan are in conflict with the design standards established <br />in Section 1005.02 of this Title, the requirements of the <br />regulating plan shall supersede, and where the requirements <br />for an area governed by a regulating plan are silent, Section <br />1005.02 shall control. <br />1. Street and Block Layout: The regulating plan defines <br />blocks and streets based on existing and proposed street <br />alignments. New street alignments, where indicated, <br />are intended to identify general locations and required <br />connections but not to constitute preliminary or final <br />engineering. <br />2. Street Types: The regulating plan may include specific <br />street design standards to illustrate typical configurations <br />for streets within the district, or it may use existing City <br />street standards. Private streets may be utilized within <br />the CMU District where defined as an element of a <br />regulating plan. <br />3. Parking <br />a. Locations: Locations where surface parking may <br />be located are specified by block or block face. <br />Structured parking is treated as a building type. <br />b. Shared Parking or District Parking: A district wide <br />approach to off-street parking for nonresidential or <br />mixed uses is preferred within the CMU district. <br />Off-street surface parking for these uses may be <br />located up to 300 feet away from the use. Off-street <br />structured parking may be located up to 500 feet <br />away from the use. <br />c. Parking Reduction and Cap: Minimum off-street <br />parking requirements for uses within the CMU <br />district may be reduced to 75% of the parking <br />requirements in Chapter 1019 of this Title. <br />Commercial and Mixed -Use Districts 1005 -11 <br />
