D. Mixed Residential (MR). The purpose of the MR District is to allow for the development of mixed density neighborhoods within the City of G eneva in accordance with the recommendations of the City Comprehensive Plan for denser, diversified residential living opportunities. Residential uses permitted in this District include single-, two-, and multi-family dwellings. The design and location of housing stock should be scaled according to the existing neighborhood context. To ensure the future design, layout, and character of the MR District is cohesive and consistent with the vision of the City of Geneva, all development and/or redevelopment pro posals should seek to achieve the following: 1. Establish neighborhoods with a variety of housing types in a unique, attractive environment that is oriented toward pedestrian activity. 2. Locate residential types and densities in a manner that provides a natural transition from existing single- and two-family neighborhoods to higher density developments, community resources, and commercial centers; 3. Expand housing options for residents of all ages, incomes, and life stages; 4. Foster the compatibility of residences and other improvements through their arrangement, bulk, form, character, and landscaping; 5. Develop on- and off-site connections to nearby amenities, roadways, sidewalks, and trails; 6. Design well-configured greens, landscaped streets, greenbelts, and parks that are woven into the pattern of the neighborhood and dedicated to the social interaction, recreation, and visual enjoyment of the residents; 7. Preserve and integrate existing natural features and undisturbed areas into the open space and design of the neighborhood; and 8. Create a cohesive and interconnected traditional neighborhood development pattern throughout the entirety of the District, regardless of the sequence of proposals or project phasing.
