Urban Residential District

The character of the Urban (Multifamily) Residential (UR) District is defined as that which is primarily intended for multifamily and high density residential development in areas within urban service areas, near business nodes and concentrations where public sewer service is currently available. Its purposes are: to encourage the development of multifamily and two-family residential lots and developments in areas where public services exist to service them efficiently; to encourage the integration and mixing of highdensity residential development with local nonresidential uses in an appropriate and comprehensive manner; to protect the environmentally sensitive areas, including floodplain, watersheds, karst, and steep slopes; and to maintain the character of the surrounding neighborhood. Therefore, the number of uses permitted in the UR District is limited. Some uses are conditionally permitted. The conditions placed on these uses are to insure their compatibility with the residential uses. The development of new activities proximate to known mineral resource deposits or extraction operations may be buffered by distance.
