It is intended to provide improved access to jobs and daily institutional and service needs, a compatible mix of uses, and access to a variety of transportation options. Land uses in the district should include a mix of uses, such as office and institutional, entertainment, retail, major commercial, and residential uses—but not destination retail uses requiring substantial outdoor display or storage, such as building supply stores, plant nurseries, or auto sales.
