Article 30-3:Zoning Districts Section E:Business Base Zoning Districts Subsection 5:Mixed-Use(MU)District S.

By providing housing close to nonresidential uses and grouping multiple destinations,such mixed-used development reduces vehicle usage and creates a high-quality, pedestrian-oriented environment The district is subject to flexible standards intended to encourage an appropriate scale and balance of uses and development to ensure district development is compatible with surrounding uses. Uses may be either vertically-integrated within a single building or horizontally-integrated within separate buildings on the same site Developments proposed within the MU District that do not include a mix of uses require a Special Use Permit(See Section 30-2.<>.) _ The MU District is intended to correspond to Cumberland County's Mixed Use District within the city's Municipal Influence Areas.
