Urban Residential District
This district includes areas that constitute reasonably compact additions to urbanized areas surrounding municipalities, which do not constitute significant habitat, wetland, or flood hazard areas, and which are either served by public water or sewer systems, or where such systems are scheduled to be extended within five years. This district allows higher density residential development in more traditional residential subdivisions and provides for a more intensive commercial component in mixed use areas.
