7. Within mixed use PDs, the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for commercial uses shall be <br />applied to the commercial area. For the commercial area, the maximum FAR shall be <br />0.35. <br />8. Within mixed use PDs, the maximum number of allowable residential units shall be <br />derived by applying the applicable comprehensive plan land use designation density <br />allowance to the entire area of the project and, in addition, may include any <br />applicable density bonuses. <br />9. Within mixed use PDs, commercial areas may be internal to the project or may be <br />located along a project's boundary, where such boundary abuts a thoroughfare road or <br />is adjacent to C/I-designated property. Where such commercial uses would face <br />residential uses located outside the project, buffering and compatibility improvements <br />shall be required to mitigate any adverse impacts. <br />10. On -street parking shall be allowed within mixed use projects. <br />11. All mixed use PDs shall be designed to include a transit stop within the project. <br />Building Design and Setbacks <br />12. Within mixed use PDs, common architectural themes, common hardscape and <br />signage themes, and multiple pedestrian connections shall be required to integrate <br />nonresidential uses with residential uses. Common architectural themes shall apply to <br />both commercial and residential areas of the project. <br />13. Within mixed use PDs, no individual commercial building shall exceed 25,000 sq. ft. <br />in commercial floor area. Lodging uses shall be exempt from this limitation. <br />14. Where a nonresidential building in a mixed use PD is adjacent to residential buildings <br />located outside the project, the nonresidential buildings shall be compatible with <br />nearby residential buildings. The scale of such nonresidential buildings may be <br />minimized by articulating the building's mass, using sloped roofs instead flat roofs <br />screened by parapets, and/or by planting canopy trees around the building's <br />foundation. For residential buildings adjacent to a mixed use PD, an existing buffer <br />may be used to satisfy the compatibility requirement. <br />Street Network <br />15. Each mixed use PD shall offer alternative routes and connections between <br />destinations within the project and to appropriate uses on adjacent sites by designing <br />and constructing a street network that consists of a grid or modified grid pattern that <br />accommodates connections to appropriate uses on adjacent sites. <br />Future Land Use Element 158 <br />
