The proposed "MXU" Mixed Use District was drafted to provide a district that would encourage the mixing of residential, retail, and office uses within a small scale urban framework. Sometimes known as New Urbanism, the purpose of this type of district is to permit a mixture of shops, offices and apartments located within both the same neighborhood and the same building. The district would require that uses be incorporated within an overall plan that includes pedestrian friendly street design with buildings close to the street; porches, windows and doors; tree -lined streets; on -street parking and hidden parking lots. The design emphasis in this type of development is on aesthetics, human comfort, and creating a sense of place through the use of both landscaping and "human scale" architecture. A viable Mixed Use development incorporates buildings, residences, shops, and services close together for ease of walking, to enable a more efficient use of services and resources, and to create a more convenient, enjoyable place to both live and work. In order to establish a new Mixed Use District in accordance with the proposed ordinance, an applicant must submit a zone change request with the same documentation that would be required for a Conditional Use Permit application. In using the same documentation 071503 5 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING JULY 15, 2003 standards as those for a Conditional Use Permit, the applicant must provide detailed site plans, building elevations, and architectural plans, including floor plans. The proposed use of each building would be indicated on the site plan. The design criteria of Section 40 are far different than those for any other zoning district within the City Of Grapevine. The design concepts are very specific in order to assure that the resulting district is compatible with both residential and retail/office type uses. For example: buildings fronting on a public street must have ground level retail or office uses; free-standing retail buildings or restaurants are prohibited; those buildings designed for office use must be carefully planned to ensure compatibility with surrounding areas. Specific standards for the exterior appearance of the buildings would ensure architectural interest at the street level and the creation of a desirable street presence.
