CNR
Critical Natural Resources District
Critical natural resource areas designated on the land use map are intended to conserve and protect high-value natural resource areas, including floodplains, unique natural areas, historic areas, wetlands, existing natural prairies, and other environmentally sensitive areas. Designated CNRAs are also intended to protect and enhance the quantity and quality of potable groundwater and surface water supplies; protect the access to and availability of the county's mineral resources; and conserve soil resources. These goals are achieved through the design of the LESA system scoring criteria, UDC zoning requirements, and MLS standards. In particular, the UDC zoning requirements generally require a 35-acre minimum lot size and that new development meet performance standards to protect identified sensitive environmental resources. For more information concerning how the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan relate to each zoning district, refer to Table 107-147-3 at the end of article VII of this chapter.
