The Residential - Mixed Use Zone (RM) is created to permit the development of enterprise within Amalga and permit the development of enterprise within Amalga that is compatible with its residential nature. It is intended to avoid the crowding out or discomfiture of existing residences while allowing light and moderate commercial activity within the same area. The Residential - Mixed Use Zone should define clearly where commercial growth should occur within the town. Such commercial growth should develop in the areas of town where it would be rational, safe, and desirable. RM – Zones should be located in places best accessible to traffic and least disruptive to residential and agricultural activities. RM – Zones would logically be located on crossroads and other main roads near other business activities. Unless listed in this chapter, a use is not allowed in the RM-Zone.
Amalga is not to be an area of heavy commercial development; such uses are more compatible with other local communities.
