|---|---|---|
District | ||
Name | Transition From | The purpose of the district is to provide for: |
Interim District | ||
Development Reserve (DR) | DR RA | Large tracts of undeveloped land generally that may be used for agricultural uses and/or individual home sites at a very low density. This district may be assigned to land that is annexed into the City prior to its designation of permanent zoning in accordance with the future land use plan. Land previously zoned Rural Agricultural “RA” is now zoned Development Reserve (DR). |
Residential Districts | ||
Estate Residential (ES) | ES | Estate lots for larger single-family detached dwellings. |
Suburban Residential (SR) | SF MH SF-1 | Larger sized lots for single-family detached dwellings. Land previously zoned Large Lot Single-Family “SF”, Large Suburban Lot Single-Family “SF-1” and Manufactured Home “MH” is now zoned Suburban Residential “SR”. |
Semi-Urban Residential (SU) | SF-2 SF-3 | Single-family detached dwellings intended to be located on small undeveloped and infill tracts. Land previously zoned Large Urban Single-Family “SF-2” and Urban Lot Single-Family “SF-3” is now zoned Semi-Urban Residential “SU”. |
Urban Residential (UR) | TH DP CD | Medium density residential attached (townhome) dwellings on individual lots in a compact neighborhood environment or as a condominium development. Land previously zoned Duplex Residential “DP”, Town Home Residential “TH”, and Condominium Residential “CD” is now zoned Urban Residential “UR”. |
Multifamily Residential (MF) | MF | Multifamily tracts that are zoned MF as of the effective date of this Chapter. These tracts are reflected on the zoning map as “MF.” No new MF zoning will be permitted after the effective date of this Chapter. |
Nonresidential Districts | ||
Neighborhood Business (NB) | TO TC | Smaller-scale, low-intensity neighborhood convenience retail and professional office and service uses, with building and site design standards that are compatible and cohesive with abutting and adjacent residential uses. The district is intended for use as a transition between the residential and nonresidential districts, or in locations that are suitable for such uses by way of its location, proximity, property size, access to collector or arterial roads, or other special circumstances. Land previously zoned Transitional Office “TO”, and Transitional Commercial “TC” is now zoned Neighborhood Business (NB). |
Local Business (LB) | LR | Office and retail businesses that are intended to serve the overall community, with a larger market than the immediate neighborhoods in the area. In order to accommodate the traffic generated from these businesses without negatively impacting the residential neighborhoods, these uses should be located primarily at pulse points or activity nodes where collector and arterial roadways intersect or at arterial roadway intersections. These uses generally serve a larger market than businesses found in a NB district and generally serve a more local market than uses found in the GB district. |
General Business (GB) | GR | Moderate and large retail centers, big-box stores, and malls that serve the retail and service needs of the community and broader region. This district includes site and building design and architectural standards to ensure quality, sustainable development. |
Professional Office (PO) | GO BD | Office, research, and technology parks with enhanced site and building standards to create a high quality, campus-like local and regional employment center. This district may also provide for some more intensive commercial and light industrial uses provided their operations are conducted indoors and on-site storage and truck traffic is limited. Land previously zoned General Office “GO” and Business “BD” is now zoned Professional Office “PO”. |
Heavy Commercial (HC) | CS HC | Larger-scale, higher intensity business, commercial, and industrial-related uses that are to meet the consumer and employment needs of the community and broader region. Land previously zoned Commercial Service “CS” and Heavy Commercial “HC” is now zoned Heavy Commercial “HC”. |
Light Industrial (LI) | LI GI | Smaller-scale, limited intensity industrial warehouse and assembly or light manufacturing uses where the operations of the use are conducted indoors and where outdoor storage and display is limited or adequately screened from adjacent streets, uses, and public views. Land previously zoned Light Industrial “LI” and General Industrial “GI” is now zoned Light Industrial “LI”. |
Heavy Industrial (HI) | HI | The most intense land uses allowed within the City, which may include heavy manufacturing and operational activities. This district is designed for locations that provide adequate access for trucks and heavy equipment and do not impose environmental impacts on adjacent uses. |
Hospital (H) | H | All types of medical institutions, together with facilities for allied health services in an area or complex that is designed to accommodate tall and high-intensity buildings and uses with adequate provision for high volumes of traffic and emergency access. |
Public Services (PS) | PS | Public, semi-public, and institutional land uses that are unique in nature and scale and thus, most appropriate in their own district. |
Open Space Greenbelt (OG) | OSG | Greenbelts and passive parklands that incorporate open space planning into the assignment of land use designations, and develop and implement a system of “greenway” parks that link home, retail, employment centers, parks, and nature preserves. |
Open Space Recreation (OR) | OSR | A system of active parklands and recreational opportunities throughout the community that respond to the broad variety of recreational needs of different age groups and interests of people residing in all areas of the City. |
Mixed Use Districts | ||

The MU district may include multifamily units as upper-floor dwellings in a vertically mixed use building or horizontally as a complex within the urban context.

Planned Development (PD) | PD | The PD district is principally intended for development areas where it may be considered warranted due the to the scale of development, the mixture of land uses, site constraints, unique design considerations, and needed site flexibility. |
