SUMMARY:
Staff has prepared an ordinance to implement Policy LU-2.33.c of the Monterey County 2010 General Plan (2010 General Plan). The 2010 General Plan created a "mixed use" land use designation. By definition, Mixed Use is intended to encourage development that incorporates a range of diverse uses, such as office, commercial, institutional, and residential, into a single building or complex. The proposed ordinance before the Board would add a new chapter (Chapter 21.17) to the inland zoning regulations (Monterey County Code Title 21) creating a Mixed Use zoning district (MU District) with regulations for development within the areas designated mixed use in the 2010 General Plan.
