LDR
Low Density Residential District
This district is intended to provide for additional development in areas where the development pattern is already suburban in character. The full development of the site will most likely not occur until public water and public sewer is available. The District permits development at densities of approximately 3 single family units per acre with allowances for planned developments with specific areas of open space. The location of some of this district is around the edges of the growing cities, and indicates areas that are likely to be annexed during the time period of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and under most circumstances not to be developed prior to annexation.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Agriculture
Greenhouse / nursery
