General intent- -MU -R. The dimensional and bulk standards in this section are intended to <br />encourage and allow more "urban scale" development within the Highway 42 Revitalization <br />Area consistent with planning goals for that area. Compared to other commercial and residential <br />development allowed in Louisville, "urban scale" generally means taller buildings similar to <br />those found in downtown Louisville, greater lot coverage, and buildings pushed close to the <br />front property line. The dimensional and bulk standards are also intended to support a <br />pedestrian friendly environment along the district's streets. Buildings pushed closer to the street <br />edge provide a sense of enclosure for the pedestrian, making the district a more inviting place to <br />walk. <br />B. Table of dimensional and bulk standards. All new development in the MU -R and CC zone <br />districts shall comply with the dimensional and bulk standards stated in Table 3 below. See <br />section 17.14.060.0 for additional dimensional and bulk regulations, including rules of <br />measurement and exceptions. <br />TABLE INSET: <br />Building length is regulated so that principal buildings are scaled to allow pedestrians and <br />vehicles access from a perimeter public street to the interior of the district at relatively frequent <br />intervals. In addition, a maximum building length standard is intended to prevent adverse visual <br />impacts on neighboring properties that a long, uninterrupted solid building wall might create, <br />particularly where block length within the district exceeds 400 feet. <br />10 <br />
