The MU Mixed Use District is intended to accommodate a mix of medium and high-density housing and complementary office and commercial uses that will be served by public utilities, as well as recognizing existing areas developed with a mix of residential, commercial and industrial uses. The district is located around the edges of the growing cities, where it recognizes this development type within municipal land use plans. It also is planned for locations in the North Central unincorporated areas where neighborhood infill and revitalization is recommended.
