The purpose of the Mixed Use (MD) development zone is to provide for the mixing of a variety of uses (limited commercial, office, residential and light industrial (within enclosed buildings) within a walkable, bikeable setting and to encourage such use mixes near transit stations in the Meadowbrook area, especially near the South Salt Lake and Murray transit stations. In addition to allowing a diverse mix of uses, the Meadowbrook area promotes increased density near transit stations with incentives to attract quality developments providing owner occupied and affordable housing.

1. Properties located in the Meadowbrook area as designated in the Future Land Use Map, or within an area identified in a Station Area Plan are eligible to be rezoned into the Mixed Development Zone.
2. In the event there is language elsewhere in this Title that conflicts with language in this chapter, the more restrictive standard shall prevail.
3. Development in the Mixed Development Zone may be subject to the requirements set forth in MKZ 18.61, Sensitive Lands.
4. In any rezoning process for a mixed use or multi-household development larger than a four-plex, a Development Agreement shall be required at the sole discretion of the City.

1. Uses in the Mixed Development (MD) Zone are as determined by Table 18.41-1 Permitted and Conditional Uses in the Mixed Development (MD) Zone.
