18A.48.010 Purpose.

The MU mixed-use designation allows a mixture of uses including residential and commercial activities to increase the variety of development opportunities where people can enjoy shopping, working, and living in the same area. The MU designation is located on upland areas that do not have specific shoreline influences other than views.

A.    This district is intended to accommodate low-rise, and low to medium density residential, with a mix of both attached and detached housing unit types, along with a limited amount of commercial uses;

B.    The retail uses should be designed to be compatible with the scale and character of residential and other uses in the neighborhood surrounding the project site;

C.    The character of the district should be considered in the design of projects taking advantage of the available view corridor. (Ord. TLS 23-11-44B Att. A)
