Mixed Use buildings Sample Clauses
The 'Mixed Use Buildings' clause defines the rules and requirements applicable to properties that combine different types of uses, such as residential, commercial, and retail spaces, within a single building or development. This clause typically outlines how shared facilities, access, and services are managed among the various occupants, and may specify restrictions or obligations unique to each use type. By clearly delineating the rights and responsibilities of all parties in a mixed-use environment, the clause helps prevent conflicts and ensures the smooth operation and coexistence of diverse activities within the same property.
Mixed Use buildings. In addition to meeting the Commercial Building Design Standards in Title 20, multi-dwelling units in Mixed Use buildings shall be provided storage rooms meeting Section 20.40.090E3 Storage except that the storage room may be located attached to or within an individual dwelling unit, or in another location within the building.

There are resultant environmental benefits through the use of less land and building less of an impervious footprint. The Town center shall integrate mixed-use buildings with the following design parameters.
i. Building volume and mass are partially defined by façade treatment. Façade treatment also directly impacts the “marketability” of the product for sale and building use. Facades for commercial spaces within the town center, along the main street and abutting a public walk shall apply the following basic design principles:
1. A kick plate, minimum 12”, maximum 30” below the display window.
2. A large clear view plate glass display window with a transom above.
3. Awnings, which provide shade and inclement weather protection as well as additional branding opportunities.
4. Recessed entries, which provide façade variation and allow the merchandise displays prominence over the building entry.
5. Horizontal façade divisions that separate different buildings / uses.
6. Roof lines that become iconic to the community character and screen mechanical units and other utilities.
7. These basic façade design principles are illustrated below:
ii. Mixed use buildings are required and encouraged to implement building articulation to create building interest and scale the massing. This can be achieved by varying heights and setbacks within the same building, offsetting wall planes and adding architectural interest with roof overhangs, awnings, trellises, moldings and other elements. Through this articulation, outdoor spaces can be created, which comply towards teh greenspace requirement, integral to the building, blurring the line between the public walkway and outdoor use for dining or retailing, which count towards the greenspace
iii. Rooftops provide a unique community experience and shall be considered integral with the design. Building roof lines make a profile against the sky that shapes the community character. Through design, this articulated roof provides screening of unsightly mechanical units and utilities, which are encouraged to be rooftop where possible. Rooftops also provide an opportunity for use of space for living and/or public use, such as rooftop bars and restaurants.
iv. Side Streets. Specialty shops and access to units above shall be provided...
