The Mixed-Use land use designation provides for a combination of commercial shopping and high-density residential uses such as apartments, condominiums, and townhomes on the same site.

Appropriate commercial uses within this designation, which is intended to serve the local resident, include retail, commercial services, offices, and other businesses. A maximum of 20 dwelling units is allowed on this site, which could accommodate a population density of up to 67 persons per acre, given an average household size of 2.8 persons. In the event no residential units are constructed in the Mixed Use land use designation, a portion of the low or medium density residential land use areas may be converted to a high density residential land use.

The mixed-use center will be located between South Lake Tahoe Drive and East Robertson Boulevard, east of North Fig Tree Boulevard. It is anticipated that up to 47,045 square feet of commercial development may be built at a floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.40. This shopping center will provide approximately 94 jobs based on a factor of 2 jobs per 1,000 square feet.
