From the ordinance
The Mixed Use 3 (MU-3) Zone is intended to focus on employment and higher-density residential uses to create more jobs and homes for the community near transit. This zone is focused in existing industrial areas with large sites surrounding the Florence Station. The purpose is to create an employment-focused, high-intensity mixed use transit district that allows for the creation of transitions between industrial uses, such as offices, to buffer homes and support the goals of the County Green Zones Program. The MU-3 Zone encourages the additional business and workforce opportunities, as well as housing focused around the Florence Station. This zone implements the MU General Plan Land Use Designation, which allows 50-150 du/net acre for residential uses and a maximum FAR of 3.0 for non-residential uses.
