A mixed-use project is a development with one or more buildings, containing more than one land use type, including both a residential and non-residential component, where the various land uses are in close proximity to one another, are planned as a unified, complementary whole and are functionally integrated for the use of shared infrastructure. 2. Locations. Mixed use projects are permitted in the UC, NC and NU districts only. 3. Maximum density and intensity. a. Mixed Use Projects shall have a minimum of 20 percent residential use and a maximum of 75 percent residential use based on the total project building square footage. b. Residential densities shall range from a minimum of two units per acre to a maximum of fifteen units per acre pursuant to the methodology set forth in Section 3.13 of the Land Development Regulations. c. The allowable number of residential dwelling units in a mixed use project shall be calculated according to the following formula: [(RB/TP) x PA x MD] = TU

22 Where: RB = Residential Building (or unit) square footage TP = Total Project building square footage PA = Project Acreage MD= Maximum Density (15) TU = Total Maximum Dwelling Units By way of illustration, if a Project Acreage (PA) is two and one half (2.5) acres with residential building square footage (RBSF) proposed of 30,000 square feet and total project building square footage (TPSF) of 50,000 square feet with the maximum density (MD) of 15 units per acre then, the total dwelling units (TU) is 30,000/50,000 X 2.5 X 15 = 22.5 units. (1) When the result of the calculation ends in 0.5 or higher, the total unit count shall be rounded up. (2) When the result of the calculation is less than one (1), the total unit count shall be rounded up to ensure that at least one residential dwelling unit is allowed. (3) When calculating the number of units in a mixed use project on lot sizes of one-half acre or less, units of 800 square feet or less of gross floor area shall be counted as one-half dwelling unit. 4. Parking. Where more than 200 parking spaces are provided on-site, such parking shall be distributed such that no more than 50 percent of the spaces are grouped in a single area of the parcel. Methods of distributing parking areas may include locating parking adjacent to the rear or sides of a building or by physically separating parking areas with other buildings or landscaped areas. 5. Landscape buffers and residential transitioning. a. Despite any provision to the contrary within Article 4, Division 15 of the Land Development Regulations, Martin County Code, the bufferyard requirements of Section B of the Land Development Regulations, Martin County Code, shall not apply to any disparate land uses that may occur: (1) Within the interior of a Mixed Use Project. (2) Between Mixed Use Projects or other developments that are located entirely within a Mixed Use Overlay. b. Despite any provision to the contrary within Sections or the Land Development Regulations, Martin County Code, residential transitioning requirements shall not apply:

23 (1) Within the interior of a Mixed Use Project. (2) Between Mixed Use Projects or other developments that are located entirely within a Mixed Use Overlay. 6. Vertical mix of uses.
