C. What Remained the Same. o Spatial requirements will remain the same. o Most of this district remains the same with slight modifications. D. Rationale for Changes. Millcreek’s existing MD zone was created to encourage mixed uses and higher density in the Meadowbrook area of Millcreek. It is a relatively new ordinance and therefore does not require extensive changes. It has been broadened to suggest its use near the TRAX stations and incentives created for affordable housing and ownership. Some design standards have been refined based on development constructed or proposed in the zone.
