1173.01 PURPOSES AND INTENT.
   (a)   The Planned Mixed-Use Development (PM-UD) District is established to encourage the comprehensive design and integrated development of large tracts of land suitable for a variety of mutually supportive office, commercial and transient residential uses.
   (b)   The general purposes of this District are served by the following basic principles:
(1)   Comprehensive planning of large tracts promotes more ordered urban growth, providing opportunities for the integration of various development projects in clearly identifiable growth centers throughout the region.
(2)   With comprehensive planning, different uses can be successfully integrated to provide functional convenience, efficiencies in the provision of public services and infrastructure and more consistent levels of activity in an area throughout the day, at night and on weekends.
(3)   With comprehensive planning and integrated design, higher densities of development can be accommodated while maintaining environmental quality. The general benefits of density include greater productivity of land; more efficient utilization of transportation and utilities systems; more convenient access between developments; the provision of a higher level of pedestrian and open space amenities; and the concentration within a limited area of people necessary to support retail, convenience service and entertainment functions.
(4)   Comprehensive planning and design of large tracts provides for the more detailed definition and administration of architectural and landscape design controls, producing a visually harmonious and pleasing development environment.
   (c)   These various advantages of comprehensively planned and designed mixed-use developments cannot be achieved by application of existing standards for individual use types. The PM-UD District, therefore, is a special zoning classification, providing for a variety of development types under special development standards that are only appropriate to the uses in planned combination.
(Ord. 1989-23. Passed 8-9-89.)
1173.02 PERMITTED MAIN USES.
   (a)   Intent. The intent of the PM-UD District is not to limit the variety of potential uses in the development, but to insure that only uses of a compatible and mutually supportive nature are included, at sufficient density, and with sufficient architectural landscape design conformity to achieve the overall benefits of mixed-use development.
   (b)   Permitted Main Uses. The following main uses are permitted in a PM-UD District:
      (1)   Office buildings and offices including business, financial, professional, governmental, public utility, executive and administrative.
         (Ord. 1989-23. Passed 8-9-89.)
      (2)   Hotels and motels subject, however, to the restrictions contained in Section 1173.04(a). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Zoning Code, hotels and motels in the PM-UD District shall be permitted to have microwave ovens in the guest rooms of the hotel or motel.
         (Ord. 2017-3. Passed 2-8-17.)
(3)   Full service restaurants.
      (4)   Banks and other financial services.
      (5)   Park land use which shall be the designated use within the PM-UD District until such time as a request is made and approved for another permitted main use.
      (6)   Other uses similar to those enumerated above as determined by the Planning and Zoning Commission and confirmed by Council.
         (Ord. 1989-23. Passed 8-9-89.)
   (c)   Full Service Restaurant. As used in this Chapter, “Full Service Restaurant” means a place where food and beverages are sold and consumed on-premises within a completely enclosed building; provided, however, that limited outdoor seating and carry-out service may be permitted. A Full Service Restaurant shall have a host and/or hostess to seat customers, provide table service to customers with food orders taken and food delivered to tables by waiters and/or waitresses, and shall offer alcoholic beverages for consumption on premises.
(Ord. 2001-14. Passed 11-14-01.)
