SEC. 51A-4.127. URBAN CORRIDOR DISTRICTS.

(a) In general. Single or multiple uses may be developed on one site in a mixed use district as in any other district; however, in order to encourage a mixture of uses and promote innovative and energy conscious design, efficient circulation systems, the conservation of land, and the minimization of vehicular travel, density bonuses are awarded to developments that qualify as “mixed use projects” as defined in Subsection (b). If a development does not qualify as an MUP, it is limited to a “base” dwelling unit density and floor area ratio. When a development qualifies as an MUP, it earns a higher maximum dwelling unit density and floor area ratio and, in some instances, a greater maximum structure height. Additional FAR bonuses are incrementally awarded to encourage the inclusion of “residential” as part of an MUP. The exact increments of increase vary depending on the actual use categories mixed and the district that the MUP is in. For more information regarding the exact increments of increase, consult the yard, lot, and space regulations in this section governing the particular district of interest.

(b) Qualifying as a mixed use project. To qualify as a MIXED USE PROJECT (MUP) for purposes of this section, a development must contain uses in two or more of the following categories, and the combined floor areas of the uses in each category must equal or exceed the following percentages of the total floor area of the project:

MU-1 AND MU-1(SAH) DISTRICTS
Use Category	% of Total Floor Area
Lodging	15%
Office	15%
Residential	15%
Retail and personal service	10%

MU-2 AND MU-2(SAH) DISTRICTS
Use Category	% of Total Floor Area
Lodging	10%
Office	15%
Residential	10%
Retail and personal service	5%

MU-3 AND MU-3(SAH) DISTRICTS
Use Category	% of Total Floor Area
Lodging	10%
Office	15%
Residential	10%
Retail and personal service	5%
Wholesale, distribution, and storage	15%

(1) If an MUP is proposed, a project plan must be submitted to and approved by the building official.

(2) If an MUP is constructed in phases:

(A) the first phase must independently qualify as an MUP under Subsection (b); and

(B) each subsequent phase combined with all previous phases already completed or under construction must also qualify as an MUP under Subsection (b).

(3) An MUP may consist of two or more building sites if they are developed under a unified development plan. The plan must be:

(A) signed by or on behalf of all of the owners of the property involved;

(B) approved by the building official; and

(4) When an MUP consists of multiple building sites, its development standards and off-street parking and loading requirements are calculated by combining the sites and treating them as a single building site.

SEC. 51A-4.126. MULTIPLE COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS.

(a) In general. Single or multiple uses may be developed on one site in a multiple commercial district as in any other district; however, in order to encourage a mixture of uses, density bonuses are awarded to developments that qualify as “multiple commercial projects” as defined in Subsection (b). If a development does not qualify as an MCP, it is limited to a “base” floor area ratio. When a development qualifies as an MCP, it earns a higher maximum floor area ratio. For more information regarding the exact increments of increase, consult the yard, lot, and space regulations in this section governing the particular district of interest.

(b) Qualifying as a multiple commercial project. To qualify as a MULTIPLE COMMERCIAL PROJECT (MCP) for purposes of this section, a development must contain uses in two or more of the following categories, and the combined floor areas of the uses in each category must equal or exceed the following percentages of the total floor area of the project:

MC-1 AND MC-2 DISTRICTS
Use Category	% of Total Floor Area
Lodging	15%
Office	15%
Retail and personal service	10%

MC-3 AND MC-4 DISTRICTS
Use Category	% of Total Floor Area
Lodging	10%
Office	15%
Retail and personal service	5%

(1) If an MCP is proposed, a project plan must be submitted to and approved by the building official.

(2) If an MCP is constructed in phases:

(A) the first phase must independently qualify as an MCP under Subsection (b); and

(B) each subsequent phase combined with all previous phases already completed or under construction must also qualify as an MCP under Subsection (b).

(3) An MCP may consist of two or more building sites if they are developed under a unified development plan. The plan must be:

(A) signed by or on behalf of all of the owners of the property involved;

(B) approved by the building official; and

(4) When an MCP consists of multiple building sites, its development standards and off-street parking regulations are calculated by combining the sites and treating them as a single building site.

(d) MC-1 district.

SEC. 51A-4.127. URBAN CORRIDOR DISTRICTS.

(a) In general. A minimum of two land uses must be developed on a lot in an urban corridor district, with one use being residential use above street level. Density bonuses are awarded to lots that have parking structures. Parking requirements are reduced for lots that have linkages to transit and have a high level of pedestrian amenities. There are three types of urban corridor districts, differing principally in their density and height allowances: UC-1, UC-2, and UC-3. The urban corridor district regulations apply to all frontages of the lot, except where otherwise specified.

(b) Qualifying a segment of a street as an urban corridor.

(1) Urban corridor requirements. A segment of street must have all of the following characteristics to be an urban corridor:

(A) A minimum outside lane width of 10 feet.

(B) A road composition that supports buses.

(D) A minimum turning radius of 50 feet.

(E) A minimum overhead clearance of 11 feet.

(2) Community collectors and arterial streets. An urban corridor segment of street must be built in accordance with the city's thoroughfare plan, and must be the following type of thoroughfare for each urban corridor district:

(A) UC-1: community collector or four-or six-lane arterial.

(B) UC-2: four-or six-lane arterial.

(3) State highways. A UC-1, UC-2, or UCÐ3 district may exist along a segment of a state highway designated by the Texas Department of Transportation if the segment has all of the characteristics required for an urban corridor, and the department determines the frontage to be safe (based on vehicular traffic speed and volume) for the level of pedestrian traffic expected for the type of urban corridor district requested.
