c. Establish standards which promote high quality development implemented through the shoreline permit process, where applicable; and d. Adult use businesses are permitted uses, consistent with the purpose and intent of this zone; provided they meet the locational requirements of Section 39.025.A. 8. BMU Broadway Mixed-Use Zone.The purpose of the Broadway mixed-use zone is to create a lively business district, oriented to both nearby neighborhoods and the larger community, with a mixture of uses, including retail, services, restaurants, institutions, and higher density residential. While multistory buildings are encouraged, both new development and expansion of existing buildings should exhibit bulk and scale that respects their proximity to adjacent residential patterns that have a lower height. Over time, it is expected that auto-oriented uses would gradually diminish, sidewalk- fronting buildings would predominate, and surface parking lots in front of buildings would be replaced with parking on lots behind buildings or within structures. All development would be responsible for contributing to enhanced safety, comfort, and visual appeal for pedestrians. 9. E-1/MUO Evergreen Way and Mixed-Use Overlay Zones.

Encourage economic revitalization in the Evergreen Way—Rucker Avenue corridor with businesses that serve both local area residents and regional shopping needs; c. Establish high quality standards for higher density commercial and residential redevelopment; d. Improve the public safety and aesthetic character of this principal arterial corridor; e. Improve access between Evergreen Way and abutting neighborhoods while protecting the residential character of the neighborhoods; f. Encourage greater use of public transit and nonmotorized travel modes in the city; and g. Accommodate projected commercial and residential growth in an area where it will be accepted and supported by the community at large, provided redevelopment is of a quality that improves the aesthetic character of this arterial corridor. 10.
