Residential-Only Development Limits
Current ordinance
Appendix A, Section 49 — Mixed Use (MXU) District. The district currently allows single-use projects, so a large housing project can move forward without first securing the rest of the mixed-use plan.
Proposed rule
A housing-only project may not be approved in the MXU district if it is 20 acres or larger or includes 50 or more homes, unless it is part of an approved Master Development Plan. That plan must preserve the required commercial land, street connections, and infrastructure for the full development area.
Why change it
This prevents large housing projects from using up mixed-use land before the commercial and connected-development pieces are secured.
Implementation
Amend Section 49. Planning Commission public hearing → Council adoption.
