Land Use
Concepts
Mixed-Use
•Benefits
•Flexibility of building spaces over
time
•Long term viability of commercial
districts
•Providing higher quality high
density residences
•Inclusion of public facilities
•Reduction in the frequency of
vehicular trips
•Minimizing land consumption
Mixed-Use
•Vertical Mixed-Use
•Any combination of retail, office, and residential within the same
building
•Example: residential lofts and apartments above street-level retail
and office space
•Horizontal Mixed-Use
•Retail, office, and residential all located within one defined area,
but within separate buildings
•Example: residential uses along the periphery of the larger
development area, separate from a more intense retail and office
core
Multi-Family
Development
•Multi-Family Development should:
•Occur at strategic locations
•Have strict development standards
•Meet the Town vision of providing
housing excellence (see the Vision
Statement on page 22)
•Provide quality-of-life amenities to
foster the development and the Town
as a desirable and unique community
(see the Guiding Principles and
Community Goals on page 23)
•Be compatible with neighboring
developments
•Be at a high density (more than 40
dwelling units per acre), and
•Be located in the DNT District.
Drive-Thrus
Negative Effects
•Unsightly development
•Excessive ingress and egress points
•Queuing complications
•Noise
•Clunky internal circulation
Potential Regulatory Reponses
•Eliminate drive-thrus entirely
•Require one drive-thru for a multi-
tenant building
•Require increased standards that
specify queuing and drive-thru lane
requirements
•Restrict drive-thru allowances for
buildings that front higher classified
roadways
•Apply a distance requirement from
residential uses and zoning districts
•Require uses that incorporate drive-
thrus to have an increased minimum
setback to ensure vehicle queuing does
not occur at the front of the property
•Require drive-thru approval through
the specific use permit process
•Restrict drive-thrus by lot size
