This chapter is established to implement the comprehensive plan's concept of permitting both commercial and residential uses in the areas identified as "mixed use commercial/residential" in the future land use map in the comprehensive plan. The intent of the MU-CR zone is to allow commercial development to evolve in the area in response to market demand, while still allowing new and existing residential uses. Ultimately, this area is intended to provide goods and services to the entire community and/or the larger market.
