UTC Urban Town Center Mixed-Use District
Jackson Zoning Ordinance § 706-A
in effectThe 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.
