Mixed Use District Section 1149.01 Purpose A. The City contains certain large parcels of land which have not been developed to their full economic potential. The development of these parcels for single family or multiple family use is deemed impractical, while their classification for retail business or limited industry use would not be in keeping with the best interests of the City. In order to preserve and promote the best interests of these parcels as well as their orderly development, they should be placed in a separate zoning category which would permit thereon combinations of garden type developments such as apartments and other multiple family dwellings, commercial buildings, offices, professional and research buildings. In addition, there exists areas within the City, in particular the City's west end, which are not presently zoned for uses which are conducive to the City's goals of orderly and comprehensive development, protection of real estate values, and promotion of land uses presently underserved. These areas likewise should be placed in a separate mixed use zoning category to achieve the above -stated City goals, which will not interfere with the rights of the affected property owners to a fair return on their investments. B. The purpose of this use classification is to designate, regulate and restrict the location, design and use of buildings, structures and interior streets; to promote high standards of exterior appearance of buildings and grounds; to stabilize and improve property value with the smallest possible burden on municipal services and facilities with the highest possible return to the City from tax revenues consistent with maintaining and improving the general character of the City; to promote health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare; and thus to provide the economic and social advantages resulting from an orderly planned use of these large parcels of land or targeted City areas.
