(A) Natural Resource District (NR). The purpose of the Natural Resource District is to preserve and maintain the rural character of the land. This District is also established to allow uses as designated by the Comprehensive Plan in areas where commercial, industrial, and residential uses can exist side by side, and where the establishment of a separate district or single-use district would not be desirable.
(B) Holding District (H). The purpose of a Holding District is to maintain the current vacant character of the site until such time as logical development shall occur.
(C) Single-Family Residential District (R-0). The purpose of the R-0 District is to promote the establishment of medium-low density, single-family dwellings, excluding mobile homes, not to exceed ten dwelling units per net acre. Centralized water and sewer facilities are required.
(D) Residential District (R-1). The purpose of the R-1 District is to promote the establishment of medium-low density, single-family dwellings not to exceed ten dwelling units per net acre. Centralized water and sewer facilities are required.
(E) Multi-Family Residential District (R-2). The purpose of the R-2 District is to promote the establishment of medium density, two-family and multiple-family dwellings not to exceed 12 dwelling units per net acre. This District is also designed to promote the logical transition of larger older homes in well-established neighborhoods to multi-family dwellings.
(F) Neighborhood Business District (C-1). The purpose of the C-1 District is to permit the establishment of convenience business uses which tend to meet the daily needs of the residents of an immediate neighborhood.

This District is specifically designed in clusters to service the motoring public. This District is generally associated with interchange areas along the major limited access highways.
(H) General Commercial (GC). The GC District is intended to create, preserve, or enhance areas with a wide range of retail sales and service establishments serving both long-term and short-term needs in compact locations typically appropriate to commercial clusters developed in urban-density areas. This District also includes some development which does not strictly fit the description of this chapter, but also does not merit a zoning district.
(I) Light Manufacturing District (M-1). The purpose of the M-1 District is to encourage the development of manufacturing and wholesale business establishments which are clean, quiet, and free of hazardous or objectionable elements, such as noise, odor, dust, smoke, or glare, and shall operate entirely within enclosed structures and generate little industrial traffic. Research activities are encouraged. This District is further designed to act as a transitional use between heavy manufacturing uses and other less intense business and residential uses.
(J) Heavy Manufacturing District (M-2). The purpose of the M-2 District is to encourage the development of major manufacturing, processing, warehousing, and major research and testing operations. These activities require extensive community facilities and reasonable access to arterial thoroughfares.
