40.230.070 Urban Holding Districts (UH-10, UH-20, UH-40)
A. Purpose.
1. The Urban Holding-10 acre zone (UH-10) may be applied to protect certain lands identified within urban growth areas from premature development when public policy establishes urbanization criteria such as requiring annexation prior to development. The Urban Holding-10 district is also appropriate where public facilities are inadequate to support development under the urban zoning designation.
2. The Urban Holding-20 acre zone (UH-20) has the same purpose as UH-10 except that the area is intended to be developed for industrial or office type nonresidential uses and retention in larger lots will ensure the site is adequate in size to accommodate large industrial or office developments.
3. The Urban Holding-40 acre zone (UH-40) has the same purpose as UH-20 except that the area is intended to be developed for industrial or office type nonresidential uses and retention in larger lots will ensure the site is adequate in size to accommodate major industrial or office campus developments.
(Amended: Ord. 2007-09-13; Ord. 2008-06-02)

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.

2. Nonconforming Lots – Lot Reconfiguration Standards.
a. Purpose. It is in the public interest to encourage the protection of sensitive lands, expand the amount of commercially viable resource land under single ownership and reduce the amount of road and utility construction.
b. Lot Reconfiguration. Except for previously approved agricultural or forest zoned clusters or rural residential planned unit developments, these substandard lots may be modified where consistent with the following criteria. Parcels which meet all of the following criteria are eligible for reconfiguration and reduction in size subject to a Type II review if:
(1) Existing parcel(s) are:
(a) Smaller than the minimum lot size established for new lots in the applicable zoning district. Parcels which meet the minimum lot size may be adjusted as a part of this process, but may not be decreased below the established minimum lot size;
(b) Determined to be legally created, have lawful access, and be buildable.
(2) Proposed parcel(s) result in the following:
(a) No additional parcels;
(b) Have septic suitability approval;
(c) Have adequate public or private potable water at the time of occupancy;
(d) Each resulting legal nonconforming parcel shall be at least one (1) acre in size with a minimum width of at least one hundred forty (140) feet.
(e) Result in achieving one (1) or more of the identified public interest issues in one (1) above.
c. Lot Requirements. The setback, dimensional, use and height standards for these lots shall be as established for the Rural 5 zone except that reductions in side and rear setbacks shall be granted where necessary to permit construction of a dwelling on the parcel; provided, when the parcel is abutting, or surrounded by, property zoned for resource uses, the minimum setback from those property lines shall be fifty (50) feet for all structures.
3. Signs. Signs shall be permitted according to the provisions of Chapter 40.310.
4. Off-Street Parking. Off-street parking shall be provided as required in Chapter 40.340.
