This district is not intended to be used as a substitution of any other land use district in the by-law that could be used to achieve the same result.

PROPOSED LAND USE DESIGNATION

MIXED USE DISTRICTS

MX -12, MX-16, MX-27, MX-30 Mixed Residential/Commercial Buildings

These districts are designed to require a mix of commercial (retail/office) and residential uses. The first floor of buildings constructed under this land use MUST be for commercial uses. The second floor MAY be commercial/retail in use, but the remaining floors MUST be occupied with residential functions. The maximum building heights are 12 m (4 stories), 16 m (5 stories), 27 m (9 stories), and 30 m (10 stories) respectively.

These districts are proposed new zoning designations that serve to add variety to residential areas, increase their density, and eliminate the need for many Direct Control Districts. The application of this zoning will serve to better complement adjacent uses by protecting views and allowing comfortable transitions between buildings. The highest density Mixed Use Districts are situated close to transit stations.
