(2) Intent Statements a. General Development Principles 1. Promote a pedestrian-oriented urban form. In contrast to conventional zoning standards that place a primary emphasis on the regulation of land uses, mixed-use development standards and guidelines focus on promoting a walkable, urban form of development, consistent with the surrounding areas historic urban development patterns. The focus on form promotes buildings that conform to tested urban design principles. 2. Require excellence in design of the public realm and of buildings that front public spaces. The most successful and memorable urban environments are those in which walking down the street is appealing. Streets, plazas, parks, and other public spaces should be comfortable and inviting, and buildings fronting those spaces should be active and visually interesting at the pedestrian level. 3. Encourage creativity, architectural diversity, and exceptional design. Mixed-use is intended to promote high quality design, and the development review process for mixed- use projects is intended to promote flexibility. Standards, as well as the development review process, are intended to support creativity and exceptional design while discouraging uniformity. 4. Promote sustainable development that minimizes negative impacts on natural resources. Creating walkable, higher density residential districts surrounding mixed- use districts supports sustainable development by providing an alternative to low density development in peripheral areas. In accordance with sustainable development principles, the mixed-use buildings and public spaces should be designed to minimize negative impacts on air and water quality and promote innovation in environmental design. 5. Promote walkability. Walkable communities are desirable places to live, work, and play. Walkable communities give higher priority to pedestrian activity by creating streetscapes that are safe, comfortable, interesting, and that accommodate a wide range of transportation modes and users. To foster walkability, development patterns should promote a mix of land uses and density, have an emphasis on the placement and orientation of buildings, have properly placed parking, place a high value on the design of quality streetscapes, provide access to transit, and provide unimpeded pedestrian connections to multiple destinations and open space. 6. Maximize connectivity and access. In order for people to feel comfortable walking, pedestrian access and connectivity among uses and amenities, including transit facilities, is essential. Connectivity and access can be accomplished by creating smaller blocks or by providing access through blocks via publicly accessible alleys, pathways, paseos, and pedestrian boulevards. Sidewalks should form a continuous network connected by frequent, safe street crossing. 7. Promote affordable housing and mixed income communities. Design a mix of housing based on geographic growth projections and the needs of current and future residents to accommodate families, single occupants, the elderly and those with disabilities. Access to transportation and services should be a key factor in the future distribution and allocation of affordable housing. JULY 2017 3 CHAPTER 4.1300 DISTRICT REGULATIONS (b) Administrative Review Requirements Projects that clearly conform to all MU-1 standards may be approved administratively by the Planning and Development Director or designee. A waiver from the MU-1 requirements and standards may be granted by the Urban Design Commission (UDC) in accordance with the applicable development principles and standards. (1) Conceptual Site Plan: In order to facilitate compliance with the mixed-use zoning standards, developers shall submit a conceptual site plan to the Planning and Development Department for administrative review prior to submittal of permit applications for new construction projects.The site plan shall show the anticipated location of proposed streets, sidewalks and walkways, building footprints, parking areas, landscaped areas and features, and open space. The conceptual site plan must be approved before a building permit application is accepted by the Planning and Development Department. A 5% change in land uses to an approved site plan will require a new project review and approval prior to permitting. a. The conceptual land use plan shall illustrate the proposed location of land uses on the site, using the following land use categories: • All residential • Commercial • Institutional • Mixed-use buildings (a mix of residential and non-residential within the same building, meeting the percentage requirements defined in Section (d)(11)a. • Dedicated Public Park • Parking facilities and private open spaces shall be classified the same as the primary land use they serve.

If a development, 15 acres or less in size, does not comply with this test, then the vicinity test described below shall apply. Projects greater than 15 acres in size shall comply with all the project test requirements and shall not have the option of using the vicinity test.The land use area percentages shall be calculated using property information obtained from the applicable tax appraisal district. (3) Vicinity Test(15 acres or less): Developments of 15 acres or less in size in which a single land use category other than mixed-use buildings exceed 70 percent (%) of the site's total land area are permitted if: a. The Planning and Development Director, or their designee, determines that the following conditions are satisfied: 1. The proposed land use at any location within the proposed development site must be within a walking distance of 1,000 feet of a different land use, as measured by the shortest pedestrian route, and; 2. The percentage of any single land use category, other than mixed-use buildings, within a 1,000-foot radius of the proposed project site boundary, shall not occupy greater than 70 percent (%) of the total land area. The proposed development shall be included in the calculation of this percentage. Or; b. The Planning and Development Director, or their designee, determines that the developer has demonstrated that unique site conditions (e.g. adjacency to natural features, freight yards, etc.) make compliance with the conditions of section i. above impractical in certain areas of the development site. Hypothetical Project and Vicinity Test Note:Measurement taken from the center of the development provides an acceptable example of the furthest pedestrian walking { distance and radius for the percentage measurement. 1 Example: Project Test: 10 acre site I Residential = 100% J Largest Land Use= 100% > 70% 1 ....Triggers Vicinity Test 1.650' i Vicinity Test a) Any location on site within 1,000' of 10 acres I the shortage pedestrian walking distance of another use, and; b) Land uses within 1,000 ft. radius Residential = 80% RES 80% Commercial = 9% 100 I I Institutional = 1% Largest Land Use=80% > 70% Land Use Legend Project Fails to Comply 0 Residential ® Commercial -Institutional JULY 2017 5 CHAPTER 4.1300 DISTRICT REGULATIONS (c).

JULY 2017 27 EXHIBIT B High Intensity Mixed-Use (MU-2) Form Based District CHAPTER 4.1302 DISTRICT REGULATIONS 4.1302 High Intensity Mixed-Use (MU-2) District (a) Purpose and Intent (1) Purpose: It is the purpose and intent of the High Intensity Mixed-Use (MU-2) District to provide areas in which a variety of higher density housing types exist among commercial, institutional, and selected light industrial uses. (2) Intent Statements a. General Development Principles 1. Promote a pedestrian-oriented urban form. In contrast to conventional zoning standards that place a primary emphasis on the regulation of land uses, mixed-use development standards and guidelines focus on promoting a walkable, urban form of development, consistent with the surrounding areas historic urban development patterns. The focus on form promotes buildings that conform to tested urban design principles. 2. Require excellence in design of the public realm and of buildings that front public spaces. The most successful and memorable urban environments are those in which walking down the street is appealing. Streets, plazas, parks, and other public spaces should be comfortable and inviting, and buildings fronting those spaces should be active and visually interesting at the pedestrian level. 3. Encourage creativity, architectural diversity, and exceptional design. Mixed-use is intended to promote high quality design, and the development review process for mixed-use projects is intended to promote flexibility. Standards, as well as the development review process, are intended to support creativity and exceptional design while discouraging uniformity. 4. Promote sustainable development that minimizes negative impacts on natural resources. Creating walkable, higher density residential districts surrounding mixed- use districts supports sustainable development by providing an alternative to low density development in peripheral areas. In accordance with sustainable development principles, the mixed-use buildings and public spaces should be designed to minimize negative impacts on air and water quality and promote innovation in environmental design. 5. Promote walkability. Walkable communities are desirable places to live, work, and play. Walkable communities give higher priority to pedestrian activity by creating streetscapes that are safe, comfortable, interesting, and that accommodate a wide range of transportation modes and users. To foster walkability, development patterns should promote a mix of land uses and density, have an emphasis on the placement and orientation of buildings, have properly placed parking, place a high value on the design of quality streetscapes, provide access to transit, and provide unimpeded pedestrian connections to multiple destinations and open space. 6. Maximize connectivity and access. In order for people to feel comfortable walking, pedestrian access and connectivity among uses and amenities, including transit facilities, is essential. Connectivity and access can be accomplished by creating smaller blocks or by providing access through blocks via publicly accessible alleys, pathways, paseos, and pedestrian boulevards. Sidewalks should form a continuous network connected by frequent, safe street crossing. 7. Promote affordable housing and mixed income communities. Design a mix of housing based on geographic growth projections and the needs of current and future residents to accommodate families, single occupants, the elderly and those with disabilities. Access to transportation and services should be a key factor in the future distribution and allocation of affordable housing. 2 JULY 2017 CHAPTER 4.1302 DISTRICT REGULATIONS (b) Administrative Review Requirements Projects that clearly conform to all MU-2 standards may be approved administratively by the Planning and Development Director or designee. A waiver from the MU-2 requirements and standards may be granted by the Urban Design Commission (UDC) in accordance with the applicable development principles and standards. (1) Conceptual Site Plan: In order to facilitate compliance with the mixed-use zoning standards, developers shall submit a conceptual site plan to the Planning and Development Department for administrative review prior to submittal of permit applications for new construction projects. The site plan shall show the anticipated location of proposed streets, sidewalks and walkways, building footprints, parking areas, landscaped areas and features, and open space. The conceptual site plan must be approved before a building permit application is accepted by the Planning and Development Department. A 5 percent (%) change in land uses to an approved site plan will require a new project review and approval prior to permitting. a. The conceptual land use plan shall illustrate the proposed location of land uses on the site, using the following land use categories: • All residential • Commercial • Institutional • Mixed-use buildings (a mix of residential and non-residential within the same building, meeting the percentage requirements defined in Section (d)(10)a. • Dedicated Public Park • Parking facilities and private open spaces shall be classified the same as the primary land use they serve.

JULY 2017 3 CHAPTER 4.1302 DISTRICT REGULATIONS (2) Project Test: The conceptual land use plan shall show that the proposed project includes uses within at least two of the land use categories, and that no land use category, other than mixed-use buildings, occupies greater than 70 percent (%) of the total land area. If a development, 15 acres or less in size, does not comply with this test, then the vicinity test described below shall apply. Projects greater than 15 acres in size shall comply with all the project test requirements and shall not have the option of using the vicinity test. The land use area percentages shall be calculated using property information obtained from the applicable tax appraisal district. (3) Vicinity Test(15 acres or less): Developments of 15 acres or less in size in which a single land use category other than mixed-use buildings exceed 70 percent(%) of the site's total land area are permitted if: a. The Planning and Development Director, or their designee, determines that the following conditions are satisfied: 1. The proposed land use at any location within the proposed development site must be within a walking distance of 1,000 feet of a different land use, as measured by the shortest pedestrian route, and; 2. The percentage of any single land use category, other than mixed-use buildings, within a 1,000-foot radius of the proposed project site boundary, shall not occupy greater than 70 percent(%) of the total land area. The proposed development shall be included in the calculation of this percentage. Or; b. The Planning and Development Director, or their designee, determines that the developer has demonstrated that unique site conditions (e.g. adjacency to natural features, freight yards, etc.) make compliance with the conditions of section a above impractical in certain areas of the development site. Hypothetical Project and Vicinity Test Note:Measurement taken from the center of the development provides an acceptable example of the furthest pedestrian walking distance and radius for the percentage measurement.
