Mixed Use - Office (MU-O). It is the City’s intent to create a well-balanced, well-organized combination of land uses that recognizes historic development patterns and protects adjoining residential neighborhoods from incompatible uses. The MU-O classification serves as a transition zone providing separation between more intense commercial activities and residential areas at the corner of 54th Avenue and Bridgeport Way. A maximum building height of 45 feet is allowed in the MU-O zone. A base density of 60 dwelling units per acre is allowed through the design standard review process, when a project is designed consistent with the design standards adopted by reference in Chapter 19.50 UPMC. Uses allowed include multi-family housing, adult family homes, Level I group homes, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, nursing homes and assisted living facilities, day care, religious assembly, professional offices, limited retail uses, public parks, community centers and cultural services, government services, and distribution and collection utilities. New multifamily will be allowed only in conjunction with other permitted commercial uses. Screening, buffers, landscaping, and other design elements shall be incorporated into all development to mitigate adverse impacts that may be associated with the transition between different densities and land uses. Sidewalks and public open spaces shall be provided to encourage a pedestrian-friendly atmosphere and connections with transit stops, schools, shopping, services, and recreational facilities. 6.
