It shall be the purpose of the MU district to provide open and generally undeveloped lands where human habitation and activity would be limited in order to protect land resources; to reduce unreasonable requirements of the public utility and service expenditures; to avoid the premature development of lands by discouraging intensive development until the ultimate best use of the land can be recommended by the Planning Commission to the governing body; and to promote the health, safety, convenience, order, prosperity, and general welfare of the inhabitants of the community. (Ord. 111 §1, amended, 1985; Prior code §12-110-1)
