40.210.040 Urban Reserve Districts (UR-40, UR-20, UR-10)

1. Urban Reserve-20. The urban reserve-20 zone is to protect land identified as industrial reserve within, or on the fringe of, urban growth boundaries from premature land division and development that would preclude efficient transition to large-scale industrial development.

2. Urban Reserve-10. The urban reserve-10 zone is to protect land identified on the fringe of urban growth boundaries from premature land division and development that would preclude efficient transition to urban development. These areas are identified as being future additions to the urban growth areas which will be added to the urban area as needed, through amendments to the comprehensive plan.

3. Urban Reserve-40. The urban reserve-40 zone is to protect land identified for urban reserve that is characterized by larger parcels of eighty (80) acres and larger outside of urban growth boundaries to protect the land from premature land division and development that would preclude efficient transition to large-scale industrial, urban business park or office campus development.

The uses set out in Table 40.210.040-1 are examples of uses allowable in urban reserve zone districts. The appropriate review authority is mandatory.

“R/A” – Uses permitted upon review and approval as set forth in Section 40.520.020.

“C” – Conditional uses which may be permitted subject to the approval of a conditional use permit as set forth in Section 40.520.030.

In addition to the criteria in Section 40.520.030, in order to be approved, the following criteria shall be met by all conditional uses:

1. Permanent structures or facilities shall be designed and located to provide for the orderly extension of public roads, water and sewer to the site and surrounding urban reserve properties.

2. All necessary road, drainage and other rights-of-way or easements necessary to ensure that future urban development will occur in an orderly manner shall be identified and approved by the county engineer and dedicated or otherwise protected.

3. Signed agreements between the property owner and the service provider(s) to connect to public sewer and water when they become available within three hundred (300) feet of the site shall be provided prior to commencing the authorized use; provided, such extension or connection does not require pump stations or capital facilities, such as larger pipes, to increase the capacity of the system.

4. In addition to the criteria in Section 40.520.030, in order to be approved, the following criteria shall be met by all schools:

a. The proponent shall demonstrate that the proposed site is more suitable than specific alternative sites within the existing urban growth area. The proponent shall address suitability criteria, which includes property size, topography, zoning, surrounding land uses, transportation (including adequacy of roads and transit services), environmental concerns and location within the area to be served.

b. Schools shall be located within one-quarter (1/4) mile of the urban growth boundary unless the applicant demonstrates no suitable property is available.

Where there are special use standards or restrictions for a listed use, the applicable code section(s) in Chapter 40.260, Special Uses and Standards, or other applicable chapter is noted in the “Special Standards” column.
