The Mixed Use-General (MUG) District is largely comprised of the low-scale,
production, distribution, and repair (PDR) uses mixed with housing and small-scale retail. The
MUG is designed to maintain and facilitate the growth and expansion of small-scale light
manufacturing, wholesale distribution, arts production and performance/exhibition activities,
general commercial and neighborhood-serving retail and personal service activities while
protecting existing housing and encouraging the development of housing at a scale and
density compatible with the existing neighborhood.
Housing is encouraged over ground floor commercial and PDR uses. New residential
or mixed use developments are encouraged to provide as much mixed-income family housing
as possible. Existing group housing and dwelling units would be protected from demolition or
conversion to nonresidential use by requiring conditional use review. Accessory Dwelling
Units are permitted within the district pursuant to subsection 207(c)(4) of this Code.
