17.52.010 Intent – Description.

This zone is focused on key nodes of moderate mixed-use activity along the City’s major corridors, primarily Palmdale Boulevard, Avenue R, Avenue S, and Rancho Vista Boulevard. This zone allows both horizontal and vertical mixed-use developments with a density range of 20 to 30 dwelling units per acre and a maximum FAR of 2.0. The MU 2 zone encompasses many existing commercial centers that are envisioned to evolve into concentrations of commercial businesses and civic amenities mixed with multifamily housing located within convenient walking or biking distance of nearby neighborhoods. The ground floor is primarily retail, medical office, and service-oriented to provide a comfortable, walkable environment. Stand-alone residential and nonresidential development is allowed on any parcel, except parcel frontages along Palmdale Boulevard must contain nonresidential development. This zone implements the Mixed-Use 2 General Plan land use designation. (Ord. 1603 § 4 (Exh. I), 2023)
