(1) MU-NE MIXED-USE NEIGHBORHOOD EDGE

(a) CONCEPT

(b) PURPOSE

The purpose of the MU-NE district is to provide for moderate density in housing options, limited mixed-use development, and opportunities for start-up businesses in a live-work environment. Such districts are often located along principal transit corridors and closely abut residential districts. The character of these areas consists of a blend of uses including single-, two-, and multi-family dwellings, community and cultural facilities, professional offices, services, and limited retail uses. Use of any residential structure for a permitted or approved nonresidential use shall be done so as to avoid altering the essential character of the structure or adversely affecting the surrounding neighborhood. Other neighborhood support uses are permitted as shown in Table 375-3-1 (Permitted Use Table).
