MEDIA_URL not treated like static

I have that dirs structure:

site_media/

    |
    ---> static/

    |

    ---> uploads/

static dir is set as STATIC_URL = '/site_media/static/'

uploads dir is set as MEDIA_URL = '/site_media/uploads/'

In that case on dev server (localhost:8000) media_url is not accessible via browser as static file, and whe I try to access it I get 404 error. How can i set it up to be seen as static?

In uploads dir are all files uploaded by users. static dir includes all my js/css/images
