(A) Purpose and intent. This district is designed to provide appropriate areas for quality mixed-use development that will link uses for living, working, shopping, educating and recreating within the limits of the Downtown Collierville Small Area Plan. It is intended to facilitate the implementation of the Downtown Collierville Small Area Plan. The facilitation of mixed-use development reduces vehicle trips, improves pedestrian mobility, relieves traffic congestion and improves the overall quality of life in the Town. The provision of a variety of residential housing types and densities assures activity in the district, supports a mix of uses and enhances the housing choices of residents. The integration of mixed use development with its surroundings encourages connections for pedestrians and vehicles and assures the sensitive, compatible use, scale and operational transitions of neighboring uses. The Mixed-Use (MU) District is intended to accommodate neighborhood uses that will serve the surrounding residents and neighborhoods with convenience retail and services. The MU District is intended to accommodate some automotive-oriented uses, but an emphasis shall be placed on the pedestrian and walkability. The mix of uses meets the need for professional and business services, personal services, specialty shops, restaurants, public and semipublic uses, and attached and detached residential dwellings. Infill development compatible with the existing character of downtown is encouraged.
