5.2.A General Purpose & Description
This District is intended to provide a location principally
for newly annexed land prior to receiving final zoning or for undeveloped
or vacant land situated on the fringe of the urban area and used for
agricultural purposes, but which may become an urban area in the future.
Generally “IH” Interim Holding District, will be near
development; therefore, the land use activities conducted in the “IH”
Interim Holding District will be rural uses similar to those found
in the “RE” Residential Estate District that are compatible
with nearby urban land uses. The types of uses and the area and intensity
of uses permitted in this District shall encourage and protect rural
uses until urbanization is warranted and the appropriate change in
district classification is made. The “IH” Interim Holding
District is also intended to protect areas that may be unsuitable
for development because of physical problems, lack of infrastructure,
constraints, or potential health or safety hazards such as flooding,
as well as providing for preservation of natural open space areas.
5.2.B Permitted Uses
Uses permitted in the “IH” Interim Holding District
are outlined in Article 4, Permitted Uses.
