Within areas of the county where there are existing residential (R) zoning districts, map amendments changing the zoning district to R may be acquired. However, the density and character of that rezoned area shall match the existing residential area such that the land use may be preserved within that area.
A. Comprehensive Plan: The area shown shall be indicated for residential use in the Grundy County comprehensive plan; and
B. Character: The character of the zoning district should be predominantly a single-family use.
C. Contiguity: The property being considered for an R zoning shall be contiguous to existing residentially zoned parcels that are similar in density and character. (Ord. 10-001, 1-12-2010)
