Potential settings <br />include adjacent to commercial districts, employment centers, civic centers, park <br />facilities, transit facilities and principal roadway corridors. When planned adjacent <br />to lower density neighborhoods, high density housing can be designed to transition <br />from its most intense use (3 or 4 story apartments) to a lower density (small lot <br />single family or attached townhomes) as it approaches lower density neighborhoods. <br /> <br />High Density Residential uses may also be located in appropriately zoned locations <br />within the Mixed Use and Old Town categories. <br /> <br />Mixed Use <br />The Mixed Use land use category allows a mixture of housing, jobs and retail <br />service uses within close proximity to each other.
