Unofficial copy. It may be out of date. Not legal or zoning advice. Zoning rules change, and only the city or county can say for sure what is allowed on a property. Confirm with the city or county planning department before you buy, sign or build.

Confirm anything here with Erda planning before you rely on it.
(1) The purposes of multiple use zoning districts are to establish areas in mountain, hillside, canyon, mountain valley, desert, and other open and generally undeveloped lands where human habitation would be limited in order to protect land and open space resources; to reduce unreasonable requirements for public utility and service expenditures through uneconomic and unwise dispersal and scattering of population; to encourage use of land, where appropriate, for forestry, grazing, agriculture, mining, wildlife habitat, and recreation; to avoid excessive damage to watersheds, water pollution, soil erosion, danger from brush fires, damage to grazing, livestock raising, and to wildlife values; and to promote the health, safety, convenience, order, prosperity and general welfare of the inhabitants of the city.
(2) The multiple use district in Erda is MU-40.
