The purpose of the CZ-MU-P district is to: (a) Implement the Sand City General Plan land use policies relating to the mixed use classification illustrated on the General Plan Diagram; (b) encourage development and redevelopment of mixed residential, commercial and light-industrial uses that ensure land use compatibility; (c) encourage the creation of living wage jobs; (d) provide for the continued availability of light manufacturing and commercial businesses; (e) provide opportunities for office development where it will not unduly interfere with light manufacturing and commercial uses; (f) allow on-site ancillary retail use to maintain and enhance the economic viability of manufactures, artists and artisans in the district; (g) allow buildings and site areas where living and working environments can be combined in an effort to reduce work commutes and provide for a more lively area of town; and (h) establish a coastal development/use permit procedure for all new and proposed commercial, light industrial, and residential uses within the district to insure land use compatibility and real estate marketability.
