The purpose of the Mixed Use Medium Density Residential (MU-M) District is to allow a variety of residential housing styles and opportunities at varying levels of residential densities, interspersed with commercial land uses. Allowing mixed uses requires a conscious effort to minimize land use conflicts by establishing performance standards, including compatible development requirements, cohesive building and landscaping design standards, and complementary pedestrian and traffic circulation requirements. The goal of establishing the MU-M District is to allow flexibility in land use development patterns, controlled through the planned unit development procedures for both residential and commercial land uses, whether projects are individually developed or part of a multiple use development concept. The City may require additional performance standards, such as late-night operating and lighting restrictions, to minimize conflicts between different land uses. Because of the mixed land use concept, all uses in the MU-M District shall meet higher design standards. All uses in the MU-M District require connection to public sewer and water.
