§ 58.252. Rezones and Zoning Map Applications.

The MXD-1 district may be applied to land which abuts a non-residential zoning district, in order to provide a gradual decrease in intensity of use along a continuous block face between the non-residential district and an adjacent residential area. This district may also be applied to other lands where a flexible use of properties is desirable, including land abutting arterials and collector streets of four (4) lanes or more.

However, no MXD-1 district shall be approved which would create an intrusion onto a residential block face which may be adjacent to a non-residential district. In considering any application for rezoning to this district, the Municipal Planning Board and City Council shall ensure that the established character of the adjacent residential area is protected. A distance of not over 150 feet from the non-residential district boundary is a guideline for the transitional area within which the MXD-1 district may be appropriate.
