18.12.030 INTENT OF INDIVIDUAL ZONES.

The mixed-use zone consist of the following:

Residential and commercial are permitted in either a standalone or mixed-use configuration. This zone implements the Mixed-Use Corridor land use designation in the General Plan.

.020 "MU-LM" Mixed-Use Low-Medium Zone. The intent of the "MU-LM" Zone is to allow flexibility for parcels that could transition from strip commercial uses to residential or a mix of residential, commercial, and office development.
