Confirm anything here with Salem planning before you rely on it.
Mixed Use developments shall be designed as cohesive, high-quality neighborhoods that integrate residential and commercial uses into a unified development.
Commercial development shall function as the visual and economic focal point of the development and shall not be designed as an incidental or secondary land use.
Development shall emphasize:
A. High-quality architectural design and durable building materials;
B. Pedestrian-oriented streetscapes;
C. Integrated parks, trails, plazas, and public gathering spaces;
D. Connectivity between residential neighborhoods, commercial areas, parks, schools, and adjacent developments where feasible;
E. Enhanced landscaping and streetscape improvements;
F. Architectural variation and building articulation; and
