Can I use this property for retail in Maricopa?

Retail uses are generally permitted in the commercial districts (NC, GC, SC, GO) and the mixed use districts (MU-N, MU-G), subject to the specific use table (Table 18.40.020 for commercial, similar tables for mixed use) and any supplementary standards in MCC Chapter 18.120 (for example alcoholic beverage sales under MCC 18.120.030). NC is scaled to a locally oriented, one-half to one-mile trade area; SC and GC serve larger, more regional retail formats; GO is primarily an office district where general retail may be limited. Retail is not a permitted use in the residential, rural, or industrial districts as a matter of course, though small-scale accessory or live/work retail may be allowed in specific mixed-use configurations. Confirm the district, the specific use table cell, and any PAD override with Development Services (520-568-9098) before leasing or building for retail.
