A. Purpose

In accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, the Neighborhood Activity Center District provides for moderate scale, mixed-use activity centers that serve as convenient, walkable service and retail destinations for surrounding neighborhoods. It is intended to support a mix of residential, retail, cultural, entertainment, and office opportunities in a mixed-use village center, with street-level uses that generate pedestrian activity and upper-story uses that provide complementary residential and employment uses to “keep the street level active.” Land uses should include a mix of uses, such as housing, commercial and office uses, restaurants, entertainment, personal and household service uses, institutional uses, public facilities and parks, and similar uses meeting the needs of occupants of the district and adjoining neighborhoods.
