What do the Mixed Use 1 and Mixed Use 2 districts allow in Royal Oak?
MU1 permits the One-Family permitted and special land uses subject to their requirements, specified two-family dwellings, senior housing, attached single-family dwellings, and Office Service permitted uses. Multiple-family dwellings and Office Service special land uses require special-use review. MU2 adds Neighborhood Business permitted uses and permits multiple-family dwellings by right; its special-use list follows Neighborhood Business except that drive-through facilities are prohibited (§§ 770-45B-C, 770-46B-C).
Both require at least 50 feet frontage. Height is 36 feet, with up to 56 feet only on the stated Planning Commission findings. Incorporated residential-use standards remain applicable. For non-single-family/non-two-family uses, voluntarily provided setbacks must be at least 5 feet; residential adjacency triggers the matching-front and 25-foot side/rear rules (measured from an adjoining alley centerline where applicable). Multiple-family yards have a stated 10-foot minimum; the Planning Commission can establish greater/lesser setbacks under the applicable review criteria. Multifamily building separation is 20 feet, subject to the Commission's determination.
A density bonus of up to 100% for multifamily/senior housing at least 150 feet from all established residential zones requires the stated findings; distance alone does not earn the bonus. Section 770-85 also governs mixed-use development.
