a. Purpose: To designate mixed-use areas where convenience goods
and personal services are provided to rural residents on a daily
or weekly basis.
b. Objective: The intent is to minimize vehicle travel between
rural settlements and suburban areas. Residential densities slightly
higher
than the surrounding rural neighborhoods are permitted to provide
opportunities for special housing needs, i.e. elderly, single households,
low income.
The center is not intended to attract vehicle trips from outside
the immediate rural service area. A grocery market may be the principal
anchor
tenant, along with other uses such as a drugstore, variety/hardware
store, self-service laundry, church, and bank. The site area requires
generally
less than twenty acres.
c. Residential Gross Density: Only land area zoned and planned for residential
use, or natural or cluster open space areas, shall be included in gross
density calculations. Natural and cluster open space shall be defined
as set forth in Section 18.09.040B, except that cluster open space shall
not include land developed under the GC Golf Course Zone. Residential
gross density shall conform with the following:
1) Minimum - 1.3 RAC
2) Maximum - 10 RAC
d. Zoning Districts: Only the following zoning districts shall be deemed
in conformance with the land use plan, except as provided for under Section
18.89.060D major resort community, Section 18.89.030A3b plan policies,
