MIXEO~USE
ELEMENT
The Metro Plan designated most of the land along Main Street in the East Mein area Medium Density
Residential with a Mixed-Use overlay. The Metro Plan gives little direction to local jurisdic-
tions on how to implement tne Mixed-Use designation. Where compatibility issues can be addressed
it may be beneficiaL to maintain a mixture of uses. This designation is intended to recognize
the existing mixture-of uses and to. provide policy direction for future development in mixed-use
areas.
CRITERIA FOR H-!XED-USE REFINEMENT" PLAN DESIGNATION

cumstances:
A) at Least 50X of the lots within the proposed Hixed Use area have buildings;
B) there is a mixture of legally established uses;
C) none of the other standard refinement plan designations recognize existing development
patterns;
D) the existing zoning of a majority of the lots is in conflict with th~ Metro Plan or the
Metro Plan designation is Mixed-Use: and
E) the area to be designated must be at least three acres in size~ so that compatibility
