LID
Low Intensity District
The Low Intensity District is established primarily for single-family residential uses at a variety of densities depending on location and proximity to transportation corridors and services. It is also the intent of this district to allow for certain types of nonresidential community facilities and services that would not be detrimental to the residential character of the district.
