Uses may be either vertically-integrated within a single building or <br /> horizontally-integrated within separate buildings on the same site Developments proposed within the <br /> MU District that do not include a mix of uses require a Special Use Permit(See Section 30-2.<>.) _ <br /> The MU District is intended to correspond to Cumberland County's Mixed Use District within the <br /> city's Municipal Influence Areas. <br /> t t � � t • IF <br /> AM <br /> Lot area,min.(sq ft) 10,000 15,500 n/a--- <br /> Lot width,min.(ft) 20 45 n/a <br /> Gross residential density,max. 18 12 n/a <br /> (dwelling units/acre)[I] <br /> =mow <br /> Lot coverage,max.(Yo of lot area) 65 55 [2] <br /> 25; 15 where abutting a <br /> Height,max.(ft) 50 35 single-family zoning <br /> district or use <br /> Front and corner side setback min.(ft) 100 20 from street centerline�� Not allowed in front,side, <br /> Mimi or corner side areas <br /> Side setback min.(ft)[3] 5; 10 where abutting asingle-family zoning district or use <br /> Rear setback,min.(ft)[3] 5 <br /> Room ENEWM <br /> Spacing between buildings,min.(ft) 10 5 <br /> Floor area in district occupied by single- n/a n/a <br /> use development,max.Clo of district) <br /> Zero lot line shall comply with the applicable maximum gross residential density standards. <br /> Zero lot line development Setha cks for lots abutting singles family detached development shall meet the district <br /> minimums;othervvise no setbacks,lot area,or building spacing requirements shall apply. <br /> Open Space Set-Aside(%of parcel size) Residential uses: :Nonresidential and mixed-uses:[to be determined in Module 31 <br /> NOTES:[1]Gross residential density may beincreased by up to 10 percent for development located within an"incentive area'as <br /> identified on the official zoning map. <br /> [L] Accessory structures/use areas shall not exceed the lesser of. 1,500 square feet in size or 30%of the allowable lot coverage <br /> [3]Minimum setbacks for nonresidential,multi-family,and mixed-uses shall beincreased by five feet for all building walls 25 feet or more <br /> above grade. <br /> sb The MU district is a new dsvict drat replaces the city's current mixed-use conditional district. The current mixed-use conditional district includes <br /> no dimensional standards and relies on review and approval of a site plan that depicts the particular bulk and dimensional characteristics of a <br /> development The MU district is a new approach that allows mixed-use development by right(without need of a site plan reviewed at the rezoning <br /> stage)provided the development complies with these standards and all applicable design and development standards. <br /> June 2009 City of Fayetteville,North Carolina... <br /> Page 3-27 Unified Development Ordinance—Module Two Public Review Draft(REVISED) <br />
