The District is designed to maintain complete agricultural uses within the city’s extra-territorial jurisdiction. |
RR | Rural Residential District | This District provides for very low-density residential environments, accommodating developments that merge urban living with rural life and institutions which require a residential environment. It permits limited agricultural uses within these settings. The District’s regulations assure that density is consistent with the carrying capacity of infrastructure. |
R-1 | Single-Family Residential District | This District is intended to provide for low-density residential neighborhoods, characterized by single-family dwellings on large lots with supporting community facilities. Its regulations are intended to minimize traffic congestion and to assure that density is consistent with the carrying capacity of infrastructure. |

It provides special regulations to encourage innovative forms of housing development.

Its regulations are intended to minimize traffic congestion and to assure that density is consistent with the carrying capacity of infrastructure |
R-3 | Multiple-Family Residential District | This District is intended to provide locations for a variety of housing types, including multiple-family housing, with supporting and appropriate community facilities. The District integrates some appropriate non-residential uses by special use permit in order to develop fully urban, mixed-use neighborhoods. |
NTR | Non-Traditional Residential District | This District recognizes that non-traditional residential development, properly planned, can provide important opportunities for affordable housing. It provides opportunities for mobile home, tiny home and similar developments within planned parks or subdivisions, along with the supporting services necessary to create quality residential neighborhoods. |
O | Office Residential District | This District reserves appropriately located area for office development and distinguishes office uses from other, more intensive commercial activities and to provide suitable office environments in the city. The Office District is also designed to permit a mixture of uses that are compatible with office development and to facilitate planning for traffic generation. |
