Zoning
R-MU
Rural Mixed-Use District
The Rural Mixed-Use District (R-MU) district is intended to allow residential and non-residential development to occur with fewer restrictions in less urbanized areas of the county. The intended result is less conflict between adjacent property owners while maintaining the rural appearance of the area.
