A. The Murray City Center District (MCCD) is envisioned as the commercial, civic, and cultural center for the community and is intended to enhance physical, social, and economic connections by redeveloping "downtown" Murray City resulting in a richer, more vibrant cultural environment. The 2017 Murray City General Plan suggests that the City center should include development which is pedestrian oriented with a strong emphasis on the urban design and streetscape.
B. The regulations and design guidelines of the MCCD are intended to promote mixed-use development, encourage pedestrian oriented design, promote development opportunities, and increase residential and commercial densities. The anticipated development model promotes sustainable, compact, mixed-use, transit-oriented uses with neighborhood oriented commercial, restaurant, civic, cultural, and residential spaces to promote street life and activity.
