8-3K-5: LAND USE DISTRICTS:

The purpose of this section is to implement the Cartwright Ranch comprehensive plan. The Cartwright Ranch comprehensive plan depicts the general nature and relative intensity of residential and nonresidential development and uses subject to the appropriate flexibility and other standards discussed elsewhere in this article.

   A.   Land Use Districts:

      1.   PC District: Cartwright Ranch shall consist of a single base land use district, which shall be called the Cartwright Ranch PC district. The purpose of this district is to provide regulations and standards for development of residential and commercial uses in a variety of typologies including, but not limited to, single-family detached dwellings, zero lot line developments of single-family detached, single-family attached dwellings, duplexes and multiple-family dwellings including, but not limited to, townhouses and condominiums, and commercial and office uses, where a central wastewater collection and treatment system and community water system are provided.

      2.   Commercial Overlay District: Cartwright Ranch includes a commercial overlay district, as depicted on the Cartwright Ranch land use map, which shall be called the Cartwright Ranch commercial overlay district. Within the Cartwright Ranch commercial overlay district, the total lots must accommodate up to twenty thousand (20,000) square feet of space for commercial uses until there are a total of twenty thousand (20,000) square feet of commercial uses within Cartwright Ranch, unless permitted otherwise by the board of county commissioners. Notwithstanding the above restriction, residential units are permitted above the ground floor of commercial uses within the Cartwright Ranch commercial overlay district.

   B.   Lot Types:

      1.   View Lots: View lots generally occur on the site's moderately sloped hillsides located to the south and west of the Town Center. View lots vary substantially in size and configuration to respond to existing topography and to minimize visual impacts. Dimensional standards and allowed uses are set forth in the tables in figures 8-3K(a) and 8-3K(b) of this section.

      2.   Traditional Lots: Traditional lots provide two (2) functions. Some are buffers between different uses and are larger lots in an open rural setting. These lots are used to transition between adjoining properties and development or open space and development. They also transition between different lot types within the development. In sum, traditional lots are intended to provide a transition from farm to village character. Dimensional standards and allowed uses are set forth in the tables in figures 8-3K(a) and 8-3K(b) of this section.

      3.   Village Lots: Village lots are reminiscent of the "in town" areas traditionally found in Idaho's agricultural towns and villages. These lots and the homes built on them are intended to form a close knit residential village with strong pedestrian and community orientation that is found in some of the great older neighborhoods of Boise (such as the north end). Dimensional standards and allowed uses are set forth in the tables in figures 8-3K(a) and 8-3K(b) of this section.

      4.   Townhome Lots: Townhome lots are the community's smallest lots and are intended to provide alternative, attached or smaller detached homes that may appeal to seniors, empty nesters, first time buyers, and/or single parents who prefer a small home with limited yard area. Townhome lots also include commercial uses. Townhome lots are intended to be located in or within convenient walking distance of the Town Center. Dimensional standards and allowed uses are set forth in the tables in figures 8-3K(a) and 8-3K(b) of this section.

      5.   Developed Open Space Lots: Developed open space lots within the project are intended to provide both active and passive recreational opportunities. Developed open space lots may include neighborhood and community parks, community gardens, the Dry Creek greenbelt path, the project wide trail system, ponds, wetlands, creeks, and riparian areas. Dimensional standards and allowed uses are set forth in the tables in figures 8-3K(a) and 8-3K(b) of this section.

      6.   Natural Open Space Lots: Natural open space lots within the project are intended to provide both active and passive recreational opportunities as well as wildlife or natural open areas. Natural open space lots may include the project wide trail system, ponds, wetlands, creeks, riparian areas and designated wildlife areas. Dimensional standards and allowed uses are set forth in the tables in figures 8-3K(a) and 8-3K(b) of this section.

      7.   Community Center Lots: Community Center lots within Cartwright Ranch will be used for the Community Center, community pool, post office, and other civic and community service uses. Dimensional standards and allowed uses are set forth in the tables in figures 8-3K(a) and 8-3K(b) of this section.

   C.   Application Of Zoning Restrictions To Lot Types: The lot type shall be designated for each lot on each preliminary plat and final plat in Cartwright Ranch and the zoning restrictions imposed by this article shall attach to each lot at the time of recording of the final plat. The restrictions applying to any lot shall change without further action in the event the lot is replatted to a different lot type. In addition to any other restriction imposed by this article, final plats in Cartwright Ranch may designate building envelopes within lots. No structure may be constructed outside of a designated building envelope unless the lot is replatted in accordance with this code.

   D.   Use Of Unplatted Property: Unplatted property within Cartwright Ranch is intended to be used for its historic agricultural and other uses, as well as certain other uses in furtherance of the agricultural operations and goals and objectives of the Cartwright Ranch comprehensive plan. It is the ultimate intent that all property within Cartwright Ranch be platted and divided into different lot types. Notwithstanding chapter 2, article E of this title, any improvements associated with the uses specified in figure 8-3K(b) of this section may be developed and constructed on any unplatted property within Cartwright Ranch. All uses of the unplatted property shall be consistent with this article and the Cartwright Ranch comprehensive plan.

   E.   Purpose Of Cartwright Ranch Land Use Map: The Cartwright Ranch land use map contained within the Cartwright Ranch comprehensive plan depicts the general nature and relative intensity of residential and nonresidential development and uses by neighborhood and lot type, subject to the appropriate flexibility and other standards discussed in subsection 8-3K-3B of this article and elsewhere in this article.

   F.   Allowed Uses Within Land Use Districts: Within the Cartwright Ranch PC district described above, uses shall be allowed on lot types as set forth in the table in figure 8-3K(b) of this section. Uses that are not specifically listed but are determined by the director to be similar to listed permitted or conditional uses are also, respectively, permitted or conditionally permitted. All other uses are prohibited.
