The MCX zoning district currently for art galleries and museums,bars, nightclubs and <br /> restaurants,churches, fanners markets,banks,personal services, stores,vocational and business <br /> schools and theaters. What seems to be missing is residential components like apartment and <br /> condominium complexes that would help to sustain a viable mixed-use community. The MCX <br /> zoning district was created to promote a viable mix of commercial and light industrial uses that <br /> are compatible with one another. And since commercial uses must rely on the congregation of <br /> people to support their services,why would we then attempt to exclude people from living in this <br /> district? If the County Council supports residential uses and other activities where people <br /> congregate within the MCX zoning district, we recommend that such uses be simply listed as a <br /> permitted use. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> For the reasons detailed above, the Planning Director recommends that the <br /> Planning Commissions send an unfavorable recommendation to the County Council <br /> regarding Bill No. 192,which attempts to allow permitted uses within the Village <br /> Commercial(CV) zoning district uses to be permitted within the Industrial- <br /> Commercial Mix (MCX) zoning district. <br /> -4- <br />
