HOUSING CONSTRAINTS <br />may consider a graduated density program as part of its update to the Zoning <br />Ordinance (see Program 21). Working with the state density bonus ordinance and <br />a minimum lot size, developers will be able to seek progressively higher densities <br />for assembling lots into larger sizes that facilitate quality housing. <br />Metro East Mixed -Use Overlay Zone <br />The Metro East Mixed -Use Overlay Zone (MEMU) is intended to introduce <br />development forms and uses that will provide for the creation of a high - intensity, <br />mixed -use urban village within a previously developed mid- to high -rise office <br />environment. The standards are specifically tailored to provide for a mix of <br />housing that encourages a continuum of living and a variety of household types. <br />The residential types envisioned include, but are not limited to, loft -style units, <br />live -work units, attached row houses, and stacked flats. Although the MEMU <br />does not require a specific percentage of housing, its explicit vision is to facilitate <br />residential development. <br />Table B -S summarizes allowable residential uses and development standards in <br />each district. The Village Center District will provide commercial, office, and <br />residential uses in the same building or on the same site in buildings of 6 to 10 <br />stories. The Active Urban District is intended for high -rise mixed -use projects, <br />which may combine office, commercial, and residential uses within one vertical <br />mixed -use building or a mix of uses within freestanding buildings on the same <br />site (three -story minimum height, no maximum). Live -work units are permitted <br />in all districts and multiple - family units are permitted in the Neighborhood <br />Transitional and Active Urban Districts. <br />Table B -8 <br />Residential Development Standards in Metro East Mixed -Use Overlay Zone <br />Standards <br />Development <br />Neighborhood <br />Transitional <br />District' <br />Village Center Active Urban <br />Allowable <br />Multiple - Family Uses <br />Permitted <br />Not Permitted <br />Permitted <br />Live -Work Uses <br />Permitted <br />Permitted <br />Permitted <br />Building 1, l <br />Floor Area Ratio Range <br />0.75 -3.0 FAR <br />0.75 -3.0 FAR <br />0.75 -3.0 FAR <br />Minimum Lot Size <br />20,000 sq. ft. <br />30,000 sq. ft. <br />43,560 sq. ft. <br />Building Height <br />2 -3 stories <br />Max. 10 stories <br />Min. 3 stories <br />Building Setback (Front) <br />0 -10 feet <br />0 -20 feet <br />0 -20 feet <br />Building Setback (Side /Rear) <br />0 -10 feet <br />0 -10 feet <br />0 -10 feet <br />Private /Common Open Space <br />100 sq. ft. /unit <br />100 sq. ft./unit <br />100 sq. ft. /unit <br />Publicly Accessible Open Space <br />5% of total site <br />10% of total site <br />15% of total site <br />Parking Spaces /Unite <br />2.25 <br />2.0 -2.25 <br />2.0 -2.25 <br />�.
