Mixed Residential areas consist of planned developments that contain a wide mix of housing types, ranging from single-family homes to multifamily development. Such diversity in housing types provides opportunities to expand housing choices within the Town in a neighborhood environment. This land use category typically features smaller lot sizes and taller building heights than Conventional Residential areas. Where possible, Mixed Residential areas should serve as a transition from more intense development such as Transit-Supportive Residential and Neighborhood Commercial centers to Conventional Residential neighborhoods. Like Conventional Residential areas, Mixed Residential areas should incorporate pocket and neighborhood-scale parks, public gathering spaces, community gardens, and trails that serve surrounding residents. Mixed Residential areas may incorporate commercial corner stores located at key entry points and intersections ( page 62 in the Additional Considerations chapter provides additional location and design recommendations).
