Commercial Mixed-Use - Rural District

The purpose of this district is to provide areas which integrate compatible commercial uses with single family residential uses through proper design. Situated within a commercial mixed-use land use designation in the master plan, the goal of the district is to provide for a better jobs-housing balance, preserve and enhance the unique characteristics of small rural centers, encourage development of community oriented commercial centers, conserve land resources, reduce commuter trips, and provide opportunities for affordable housing. The district is also intended to provide for a traditional settlement land use pattern with mixed commercial and residential uses arranged horizontally and/or vertically within a parcel and/or district. The CMU-R district can be used for in-fill projects and as a redevelopment/revitalization tool. The projects must be architecturally compatible with and enhance the surrounding neighborhood. Projects should integrate the residential and commercial uses, either vertically or horizontally. The residential density must not exceed 6 units per gross acre. The CMU-R district implements the Commercial Mixed-Use land use designation of the Master Plan in Rural Character districts.
