(a) Intention. The Highway Mixed Use District is intended to be a setting for development of a wide range of community and regional retail uses, offices and personal and business services. Secondarily, it can accommodate a wide range of other uses including multi-family housing and mixed use dwelling units. The B-2 District is intended to integrate various commercial and multi-family uses while transitioning from the highway to adjacent lower density neighborhoods. While some Highway Mixed Use Commercial District areas may continue to meet the need for auto-related and other auto-oriented uses, it is the City's intent that the B-2 District emphasizes safe and convenient personal mobility in many forms, with planning and design that accommodates pedestrians. Further, the B-2 District is intended to function with, rather than compete with, the downtown area. The highway corridor is a visible commercial area for the community.
