Such a mixed use designation can provide for a <br />wide, diversity_ of land uses in rural areas and, if needed, _will <br />allow a higher residential density than the density allowed in the <br />agricultural portion of the county and allow for development of a <br />portion of the project as commercial and office uses. This type of <br />mixed use project will create self sufficient communities and <br />provide opportunities for the residents live, worktop and <br />attend recreational activities in the same place. <br />A mixed use project can fully meet its intent of providing a self- <br />-sufficient community and capturing trips internally mit—has <br />sufficient size and density to support such a community. Since <br />-agricultural-densities are as low as one -unit -per -twenty acres, <br />such densities are not suitable for mixed use projects; a mixed use <br />Droiect needs to have a higher densitv than underlvina agricultural <br />density. <br />space Dy requiring resiaential ana non-resiaential activities ro De <br />Catered.
