Description

A-R

The Agricultural-Residential District is established as a district to promote a compatible mixture of low-density residential and agricultural uses where urban development is expected to occur. The purpose of this district shall be to maintain lots of sufficient size to ensure that residential development dependent upon septic tank systems for sewage disposal and individual wells for water will occur at sufficiently low density to ensure a healthful environment. Because the Town wishes to guide rational development patterns which affect future growth, the A-R District will be split into three sub-districts.

B-O-I

The Business, Office and Institutional District is established at business locations in order to permit the development of existing uses while maintaining a satisfactory relationship between the intensity of land uses and the capacity of streets and utilities.

G-A-R

The General-Agricultural-Residential District is established as a sub-district to promote the purposes enumerated above while maintaining the lowest reasonable level of control of land use in areas of the extraterritorial jurisdiction not currently experiencing growth and not expected to experience substantial growth in the near future. The G-A-R District shall encompass all former A-R zones within the extraterritorial jurisdiction lying beyond the R-A-R District in the southern sector of the ETJ roughly arcing south and east from Highway 222 west of town to Highway 43 east of town.

L-A-R

The Residential District is established as a quiet, medium-density district designed primarily for single-family and two-family dwelling. The purpose of this district is to discourage any use which, because of its character, would interfere with the development of single-family residency in the district and which would be detrimental to the quiet residential nature of the areas included within this district.

R-A-R

The Restricted-Agricultural-Residential District is established as a sub-district to promote the purposes enumerated above while maintaining the strictest control of land use within the corporate limits and in areas of the extraterritorial jurisdiction closest to the corporate limit.
