SE CTION 7.2.3 RESIDENTIAL MIXED USE DISTRICTS (C-RX-5, -8, -12) 7.2.3.1 General Purpose A. The Residential Mixed Use zone districts are intended to promote safe, active, and pedestrian- scaled, diverse areas through the use of building forms that clearly define and activate the public realm. B. The Residential Mixed Use zone districts are intended to enhance the convenience, ease and enjoyment of transit, walking, shopping and public gathering within and around the city’s residential neighborhoods. C. The Residential Mixed Use zone district standards are also intended to ensure new development contributes positively to established residential neighborhoods and character, encourages affordable housing, and improves the transition between commercial development and adjacent residential neighborhoods. D. Compared to the Mixed Use districts, the Residential Mixed Use districts are primarily intended to accommodate residential uses. Commercial uses are secondary to the primary residential use of the district, and provide neighborhood-scaled shops and offices for residents to conveniently access goods and services within walking distance. Buildings in a Residential Mixed Use district can have Street Level retail uses, but upper stories are reserved exclusively for housing or lodging accommodation uses. A building can be solely residential or solely commercial; however, buildings containing only commercial uses are limited in total gross floor area to 10,000 square feet consistent with the district purpose. 7.2.3.2 Specific Intent A. Residential Mixed Use 5 (C-RX-5) C-RX-5 applies to residentially-dominated areas served primarily by local or collector streets where a building scale of 2 to 5 stories is desired. | 7.1-3
