(A) Purpose. The Mixed Use Regional Districts are intended to implement the vision set forth in the Dublin Corporate Area Plan, which promotes a vision of a walkable, mixed use district that is comprised of high quality employment facilities, integrated with or adjacent to complementary retail and commercial uses as well as supporting residential and recreational uses, and pedestrian amenities. The Mixed Use Regional District standards are intended to ensure development is compatible with the surrounding character and uses.
(B) Applicability. Any development proposed to occur on land designated as Mixed Use Regional (MUR)-1, MUR-2, MUR-3, and MUR-4 shall be required to meet the requirements of the MUR Districts as specified herein.
(C) Conflicts. If the regulations within this section conflict in any manner with the City of Dublin Codified Ordinances, the provisions of the districts shall prevail. All matters not covered by the districts and their requirements shall be regulated by the requirements and standards contained in Chapter 153 of the Codified Ordinances.
(D) Relationship to Design Guidelines. In addition to the regulations contained within this section, new development within the MUR Zoning Districts shall comply with the Mixed Use Regional (MUR) Design Guidelines. The guidelines supplement the regulations contained within the Code and will guide the Planning and Zoning Commission in determining requests for approvals. While the Guidelines are not zoning regulations, they are critical to interpreting the intent of these regulations and should be used in unison with them. The Guidelines provide additional detail and explanation of the regulations and provide important guidance in applying the regulations. Applicants should consult the Design Guidelines prior to filing an application, and throughout the approval process.
(E) Intent. The titles of each zoning district reflect the general location of each district within the overall mixed use regional area as depicted in the Dublin Corporate Area Plan. The following further describes the intent of each of the Mixed Use Regional (MUR) Districts.
(1) MUR-1: Metro/Blazer District.
(2) MUR-2: Tuttle/Rings District.
(3) MUR-3: Emerald District.
(4) MUR-4: Llewellyn Farms Office District. The Llewellyn Farms Office District is different in character from the other MUR districts due to its proximity to existing residential neighborhoods. The permitted uses and development standards are sensitive to this and intend to provide a cohesive transition between residential and non-residential development focusing on lower density and intensity to ensure compatibility with the existing residential character.
