706-A

The purpose of the UTC Urban Town Center Mixed-Use District is to encourage the development of new neo-traditional commercial districts and to allow appropriate infill development within existing commercial districts that would be characterized as pedestrian-friendly shopping areas. The intent of these districts is to encourage the integration of medium- to high-density residential, certain commercial uses and small- scaled institutional uses into a cohesive development fabric that encourages pedestrian activity. Existing areas that may be considered for this zoning district would typically have existing commercial stores with front windows and displays, curbside on-street parking or parking behind buildings. A mixture of uses including adaptive uses adds to the character of the district and provides services to adjacent residential neighborhoods and to the wider community.
