A minimum of thirty percent (30%) of the Gross Developable Area within each Mixed Use development shall be designated, entitled, and permanently reserved for commercial development.
* Gross Developable Acre: The total land area within a defined development project, expressed in acres, excluding natural hazards & protected features such as wetlands, waters of the United States, 100-year floodplains, fault lines, and land areas with a natural slope exceeding twenty-five percent (25%); regional public infrastructure such as existing public street rights-of-way, or land dedicated to the City for planned major arterial or collector streets identified on the City's Master Transportation Plan; and regional utilities such as existing or dedicated high-voltage electric transmission corridors, regional gas main easements, or regional stormwater infrastructure designed to serve areas beyond the project boundaries.
The City Council may approve an alternative commercial and residential allocation through the Development Agreement upon finding that the proposed allocation better fulfills the purpose and intent of this Chapter and provides equal or greater commercial function, economic benefit, and public benefit.
Commercial development shall be integrated into the overall development in a functional, visible, accessible, and economically viable manner.
Commercial areas shall be configured to promote long-term economic viability, marketability, visibility, accessibility, and functionality.
The City Council may require a commercial allocation greater than thirty percent (30%) where warranted by project location, infrastructure capacity, economic development objectives, or other demonstrated public benefits.
Land designated for future commercial development shall not satisfy the commercial allocation required by this Chapter unless the Development Agreement establishes enforceable commercial development milestones, phasing requirements, or other performance measures ensuring timely construction of the commercial component.
