Ray Township City Zoning Code
RMU RESIDENTIAL
MIXED USE
SECTION 1100 - STATEMENT OF INTENT.
The Mixed Use Residential District is primarily a single family residential district intended to provide for a flexibility of residential densities and housing types as well as providing a limited amount of nonresidential use along the 26 Mile Road frontage at the entrances of planned subdivisions. Nonresidential uses should be limited in size providing convenience shopping opportunities to the residents of the adjoining subdivisions. This area is intended to be serviced by public sanitary sewer and water infrastructure and should not be developed to the prescribed densities until such infrastructure is available. It is intended that open space preservation and other best management practices will be utilized within the Residential Mixed Use District to preserve those environmental features identified within the Township's Master Land Use Plan.
