The purpose of this District designated by the symbol "MUC" in this zoning code and on the official zoning map is to allow and encourage a strong local shopping and business center in the City. Mixed-use development should be allowed and encouraged. Intersections, in particular, provide opportunities for mixed-use development that is integrated vertically and horizontally with adjacent properties and uses. Goals of the District include encouraging redevelopment with infill, new forms of mixed-use residential, commercial, office and pedestrian-oriented retail development, increasing development of residential spaces within mixed-use projects to provide additional support for retail oriented activities and supporting the movement of offices and residential uses above retail. Development standards within the District should be flexible to promote appropriate redevelopment while preserving and enhancing the unique character of the District through the adoption and application of design guidelines.
