MU
Mixed Use District
The purpose of the mixed use MU district is to provide areas for a variety of housing types as well as a functional mix of residential and non-residential land uses. To this end, while MU developments are encouraged to include a mix of both residential and non-residential uses, single use development is allowed when the area surrounding a proposed single use development within the MU zone is predominantly of the type proposed, and requiring another use would be out-of-character with the predominant surrounding use, and would result in internal incompatibility that cannot be remedied through buffers, setbacks, or other techniques in an economically efficient manner.
