(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 county.
(2) The multiple use districts in Tooele County are MU-40, MU-80 and MU-160. (Ord. 2005-30, 11/22/05)
