Sports and Entertainment (SE). The purpose of the SE zone is to allow for sports and entertain- ment uses, including sports facilities, golf courses, theaters, and amphitheaters, as well as a range of re- lated commercial uses that are compatible with the Sports and Entertainment zone. The related uses may include localized retail, commercial retail, and service establishments. The maximum permitted floor area ratio in the SE zone is 0.4. The SE zone implements the Sports and Entertainment land use designation in the General Plan. The Sports and Entertainment designation was enacted under Butte County Ordinance 3570, where additional,information concerning this designation may be found. This designation is unique to several parcels of approximately 100 acres located in Butte Valley near the in- tersections of Highway 70 and Highway 191 (Clark Road). F. Mixed Use (MU). The purpose of the MU zone is to allow for a mixture of residential and commer- cial land uses located close to one another, either within a single building, on the same parcel, or on ad- jacent parcels. Standards in the MU zone are intended to reduce reliance on the automobile, create pe- destrian-oriented environments, and support social interaction by allowing residents to work or shop within walking distance to where they live. Permitted commercial uses include general retail, personal services, restaurants„ professional offices, and other similar uses. Permitted residential density in the MU zone ranges from a minimum of 6 dwelling units per acre to a maximum of 20 dwelling units per acre. The maximum permitted floor area ratio in the MU zone ranges from 0.3 to 0.5. The MU zone implements the Mixed Use land use designation in the General Plan. 24-22 Land Use Regn.H.,tions for Commercial and Mixed Use Zones A. Permitted Uses.

Requiring residential development to provide land use transitions; setbacks, and buffers between residential development and agricultural uses,in order to reduce interference and conflict; Z. Creating development and performance standards designed to protect agricultural uses from residential encroachment conflicts;and C. Providing a clear delineation between long-term agricultural production lands and residential areas. 24-82 Applicability A. This article applies to residential structures in all agricultural buffer areas. The agricultural buffer is applied to the following areas of the county: 1. All lands zoned Agriculture; 2. Other zones within 300 feet of the boundary of Agriculture zones;and 3. Areas inside and within 300 feet of sphere of influence boundaries for incorporated cities, where the boundary abuts parcels zoned Agriculture. 4, jt'iteiaLwithipiEti;kir ota Lourrant, Z. The agricultural buffer requirement shall apply to the parcel where residential development is proposed. 24-83 Agricultural Buffer Setbacks As shown in Figure 24-83-1 (Agricultural Buffer Setbacks), the setback distance for dwellings within an agricultural buffer area shall be 300 feet from any property line that abuts Agriculture zones. This distance may be adjusted based upon the Agricultural Buffer Guidelines as adopted by the Board of Supervisors on December 16, 2008 (and as amended) or an Unusual Circumstance Review in Section 24-84 (Exceptions to Agricultural Buffer Setback). SUPPLEMENTAL USE REGULATIONS 24-158 24-158 Animal Keeping A. Purpose.
