units per acre. Located in areas served by current or planned utilities or in areas near the extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of towns. Additional housing types (including townhomes
and apartments) and higher densities may be appropriate as part of planned developments or near Development Nodes.
Compatibility Development Target Area
An area where residential developments are recommended to take advantage of the Compatibility Development option in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). This option allows for greater
flexibility in lot sizes in exchange for higher amounts of open space. This allows clustering development in order to preserve rural views and key natural features such as habitat
corridors and farmland. Public infrastructure including water & sewer is often available in this area.
Rural Centers
Small-scale commercial centers. The exact location and extent of the Rural Centers will be market driven, however, the non-residential footprint will usually be less than 50,000 square
feet in these areas. Site design and architecture should complement the character of the surrounding community.
Employment Mixed Use (purple)
These areas are located along major thoroughfares and include prime locations for economic development opportunities. Uses encouraged in the Employment Mixed Use areas include but are
not limited to, industrial, warehouse, office, research and development, tech-flex, medical, energy and distribution. Residential development is appropriate only when not in conflict
with existing or future industry or commercial uses.
