Micro and small enterprise in urban dimension is becoming the fundamental issue that lay a foundation to the structural transformation in to industrialized economy. The Ethiopian government has already developed firm commitment for the realization of the plan. However, the sector is not free from obstacles. The deterrent, apart from other things, facing the sector are shortage and unplanned expansion of working and selling premises. The main intention of the research is to investigate the contribution of urban land use plan as well as policy and legal frameworks towards the promotion of MSE. Descriptive approach is followed as the main designing of the research and Digital data collection is employed as a main method for capturing spatial data of premises. Questionnaires were distributed to a sample size of 269 MSE operators. Key informants were thoroughly discussed with help of semi-structured interviews. Document review was cautiously performed in the perspective of the promotion of Micro and small enterprises. Geographic Information System and AutoCAD were chosen as vital tool for depicting the spatial configuration of MSEs and the results were presented by using tables, maps, graphs and pie charts. The findings of the critical analysis elicited the assignment of working and selling premises for MSEs are carried out arbitrary and unplanned manner on public spaces. There are inconsistencies among urban policy, Strategies, urban plan manual and standard toward addressing the issue of MSE. To ensure sustainable progress in urban centers, the commitment of the government should not cease with the policy and strategy formulation. Rather, it has to go through manuals and standards since policies and strategies are eventually implemented by manuals and standards.
