New Mixed Use Planned Development (MUPD) district
Summary
The code currently only allows residential, commercial, or industrial planned developments — not combinations. A new mixed-use district would let developers like Mears Crossing-style projects go through one streamlined rezoning process instead of special area plans or split zoning.
