Zoning
MDR
Medium Density Residential District
This district is intended to accommodate medium-density housing that will be served by public utilities. Housing types include both small lot single-family development and attached housing types. The district is located around the edges of the growing cities, where it recognizes this development type within municipal land use plans and locations in the North Central unincorporated areas where neighborhood infill and revitalization is expected. The district permits development at densities of approximately 5 units per acre for single-family development. Attached housing densities will typically range from 8 to 15 units per acre. The location of much of this district is in locations likely to be annexed during the time period of the 2030 plan.
