PLAN
Chapter 5
Buildings should not exceed 60 feet in height (typically 5 stories), and should be compatible with
adjacent residential areas with respect to architectural style and proximity of buildings.
Flex Mixed Use Overlay (FMU)
The purpose of this land use category is to facilitate development of an entertainment,
hospitality and convention area that is a regional draw. Additional new uses should be created
that would support a new convention center, offices, and the Performance Arts Center in Old
Town. These include hotels, retail, restaurant, entertainment and other related uses. A minimum
of 51 percent of the total usable floor area should be office or convention uses. The remaining
49 percent of the total usable floor area should be hospitality and/or entertainment uses with at
least 10 percent being dedicated for retail commercial uses.
The buildings in this district will likely have large footprints and buildings may be up to 100 feet in
height (typically 8 stories) to accommodate a hotel and/or other significant uses. Strong visual
and pedestrian-oriented connections should be made between the uses in this land use
category.
Public/Quasi-Public Use (PQP)
The purpose of the Public/ Quasi-Public category is
to allow development of public, quasi-public and
institutional uses (community centers, schools,
universities, public library, city hall, and other
community-serving uses etc). Public and quasipublic
uses may also be permitted throughout the
other land use categories described in this
document; however, in this category they are the
principal use.
Open Space (OS)
The Open Space category is reserved for open space, passive recreational activities and
support facilities. The Open Space designation also provides venues for seasonal activities and
short-term events such as arts and crafts sales, farmers’ markets, outdoor performances and
similar uses in an urban, park-like setting.
