Mixed Use Development and MUCD Zoning District
redevelopment of the US 17-92corridor
supporting the Central Florida Regional Growth Vision
CA Live Work Units
“capture” of automobile trips within a development to improve publictraffic transit, bicycle and walking allow for a range of housing types
Mixed Use Principles in the Comprehensive Plan
discourage sprawl development energy conservation and the reduction of greenhouse gases
Where could it be?
Mixed Use Corridor District
(MUCD)
Projects vary in sizes. Not every project must be mixed use to be part of a mixed-use corridor. Single-use developments should be limited to 15 acres.
Every project must increase connectivity for walking, biking, and Regulationsdrivingshould allow flexibility for mixed use to evolve over time
Usually infill or redevelopment
The goal is Mixed Use corridors
