The purposes of the mixed use district are to:
A. Promote use of mass transit facilities by placing high concentrations of residents and employees in proximity to transit stations and routes;
B. Establish standards and guidelines that allow integration of high-density residential, commercial and business uses, resident and employee services, and public spaces;
C. Provide safe, attractive, accessible and well-designed pedestrian and bicycle pathways and routes between transit facilities, services, jobs and housing, in order to create interconnected neighborhoods and reduce automobile use;
D. Minimize prominence of the automobile and enhance the pedestrian space through design standards that encourage visible and usable public open spaces and that orient commercial structures toward the pedestrian and street;
E. Ensure that new development, redevelopment, rehabilitation of structures and establishment of new uses within one-half mile of existing and future transit stations occur in a manner that is consistent with the general plan. [Ord. 07-1284 § 3 (Exh. D), 2007.]
