The purpose of the Wayside Zoning District is to encourage compact mixed-use development that encourages walking and biking with development that will enhance compatible land uses and encourage desired growth patterns to improve a traditionally automobile-oriented commercial corridor for the benefit of public health, safety and welfare, by promoting integrated, pedestrian- friendly, commercial mixed-use development including retail, housing, and workplaces within close proximity to each other that are consistent with the stated economic development objectives of the City, contribute to enhanced streetscape, and designed to further promote livability and quality of life within the district. (1) Commercial mixed-use development. (a) For the purposes of this Zoning District, a commercial mixed-use development shall include any eligible use set forth in Subsection E below, which shall be commingled into a single structure or multiple structures with other eligible uses on the same property. Accordingly, commercial mixed- use developments shall benefit the public health, safety and welfare, through the sharing of parking lots and driveway curb cuts, to minimize the amount of impervious paved parking area and driveway curb cuts, to reduce automobile trips and traffic congestion, and accordingly to improve air quality.

(d) The City Council may elect to vary the dimensional and parking requirements of this section by special permit or site plan approval if, in its opinion, such change shall result in an improved project and will not nullify or substantially derogate from the intent or purpose of this section. This authority continues subsequent to occupancy. C. Special permit granting authority. The City Council shall be the special permit granting authority within the Wayside Zoning District. D. Exclusivity/control.
