The purpose of the SE zone is to allow for sports and entertainment uses, including sports facilities, golf courses, theaters, and amphitheaters, as well as a range of related 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 Ordi- nance 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 intersections 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 commercial land uses located close to one another, either within a single building, on the same parcel, or on adjacent parcels. Standards in the MU zone are intended to reduce reliance on the automobile, create pedestrian - oriented environments, and support social interaction by allowing residents to work or shop within walk- ing distance to where they live. Permitted commercial uses include general retail, personal services, res- taurants, 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 Regulations for Commercial and Mixed Use Zones A. Permitted Uses.
