Section 11-G300. PURPOSE AND INTENT

 

300.1 The purposes of the MU-1 and MU-2 zones are to:

(a) Act as a buffer between adjoining non-residential and residential areas, and to ensure that new development is compatible in use, scale, and design with the transitional function of this zone; 

(b) Preserve and protect areas adjacent to non-residential uses or zones that contain a mix of row houses, apartments, offices, and institutions at a medium to high density, including buildings of historic and architectural merit; and

(c) Permit new residential development at a higher density than new office or institutional developments.

300.2 The MU-1 zone is intended to permit moderate-density areas predominantly developed with residential buildings but also permitting non-residential buildings.

300.3 The MU-2 zone is intended to permit medium-density areas predominantly developed with residential buildings but also permitting non-residential buildings.
