This <br />could be achieved by increasing allowable densities and creating new mixed-use <br />zoning districts where adequate public services are available. <br />Objective LU-3.6: Establish consistency between the Land Use Plan and the Water <br />and Sewer Management Planning and Boundary Agreement and Map. <br />Objective LU-3.9: Create new zoning district(s) which allow for a mixing of <br />commercial and residential uses, a mixing of housing types, and creates a more <br />pedestrian friendly development pattern.
