Exhibit 1
RESIDENTIAL/URBAN SUPPORT Mixed Use(MU) MU
CLASSIFICATION:
Purpose
The purpose of the Mixed Use category is to achieve a more balanced mix of uses to increase
' convenience and provide greater transportation choices. When a wide variety of uses are located in close
proximity to each other, walking and bicycling become practical alternatives to automobile travel. Such
areas would support objectives for improved mobility and reduced congestion. Infill development success
can be enhanced by planning a mutually-supportive mix of uses. The mixing of uses can add variety and
vitality to an area, making it a more attractive, interesting place to live. In addition, convenient commercial
and personal services, readily accessible to work sites and residential areas, and convenient cultural or
recreational amenities can enhance the attractiveness of infill development. Infill development can fill
gaps to benefit the entire neighborhood including existing residents, for instance by including a grocery
store or park where none exists.
Use Characteristics
Those uses appropriate to and consistent with this category include:
Primary Uses: • Residential; Residential Equivalent'; Office; Retail
Commercial: Personal/Business Service;
Commercial/Business Service;Transient Accommodation
Secondary Uses: Public/Semi-Public
Locational Characteristics
This category is generally appropriate to locations within the urban area that are appropriate for more
intensive residential, office and retail commercial uses. These areas are typically in close proximity to
and served by the arterial highway network where mixed use developments allow interaction among land
uses and encourage mass transit and non-vehicular trips.
Standards
Residential Use: • Shall not exceed 4-4 20 dwelling units per gross acre.
Residential Equivalent Use: • Shall not exceed an equivalent of 3.0 beds per permitted
dwelling unit at 14 dwelling units per gross acre.
Transient Accommodation Use • Shall not exceed 30 units per gross acre.
Nonresidential Use: Floor Area Ratio(FAR)-0.50;
Impervious Surface Ratio(ISR)-0.80
Mixed Use: • Shall not exceed, in combination, the respective number of
units per acre and floor area ratio permitted, when allocated
in their respective proportion of the total lot area. The
targeted mix of uses for new development and
redevelopment in the MU category is 50 percent commercial,
25 percent residential, and 25 percent office.
Zoning Compatibility R2-Single Family Residential
R3-Medium Density Residential
The following zoning districts are compatible with R4-Multi-family Residential
the MU land use category: —► OP-Office Professional
—� Cl -Neighborhood Commercial
C2-Community Commercial
C3-General Commercial

Exhibit 2
RESIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION: Residential Urban (RU) RU
Purpose
It is the purpose of this category to depict those areas of the City that are now developed, or appropriate
to be developed, in an low to moderately intensive residential manner, and to recognize such areas as
primarily well-suited for residential uses that are consistent with the urban qualities, transportation
facilities, and natural resource characteristics of such areas. The RU category accommodates a mix of
higher density single family and multi-family uses and highly compatible retail and office uses. Accessory
dwelling units are allowed in certain situations to:
• Create new housing units while respecting the look and scale of single family neighborhoods;
• Increase the housing stock of existing neighborhoods in a manner that is less intensive than
alternatives;
• Allow more efficient use of the existing housing stock and infrastructure;
• Provide a mix of housing that responds to changing family needs (life cycle housing) and smaller '.
households;
• Provide a means for residents, particularly seniors, single parents, and families with grown children,
to remain in their homes and neighborhoods, and obtain extra income, security, companionship, and
services; and
• Provide a broader range of accessible and more affordable housing.
Nonresidential uses shall visually conform to the residential character of the neighborhood, and primarily
serve the needs of the neighborhood in which they y are located in order to reduce vehicle miles traveled.
Use Characteristics
Those uses appropriate to and consistent with this category include:
Primary Uses: • Residential; Residential Equivalent1
Secondary Uses: • Public/Semi-Public; Neighborhood Commercial, Transient
Accommodations2
Locational Characteristics
This category is generally appropriate to areas served by a complete range of urban services with
particular emphasis on the availability of transit services and recreation/open space facilities; in areas
where use and development characteristics are urban in nature; and in areas in close proximity to
employment centers, community shopping centers, and arterial and collector highwaay facilities.
Standards
Residential Use: • Density Range: 7.5-4-4 20 dwelling units per gross acre.
Residential Equivalent Use: • Shall not exceed an equivalent of 3.0 beds per permitted
Nonresidential Use: dwelling unit at 14 dwelling units per gross acre.
Allowed in certain situations on small sites in or near dense
residential neighborhoods to encourage the provision of small
scale retail and service uses for benefit of nearby residential
areas. A variety of uses may be located in one building...
Uses are restricted in size to promote a local orientation and
to limit adverse impact to nearby residential areas.
Development is intended to be pedestrian-oriented and
compatible with the scale and layout of nearby residential
areas. Parking areas are restricted since their appearance is
generally out of character with neighborhoods. Such
development must obtain approval. Floor Area Ratio (FAR)—
0.50 Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR)—0.80
