U (URBAN RESERVE) DISTRICT
Sections:
17.05.030 Uses requiring a conditional use permit.
17.05.040 Development standards.
17.05.010 Purpose.
The urban reserve (U) district is intended to be applied to all properties of importance to the future growth of the city but which are anticipated to be used for agricultural uses until the development of such properties is warranted. The purpose of the district is to allow those lands which were annexed into the city prior to the adoption of the Growth Management Act to remain within the city and continue to be used for farming and agricultural activities until such time that demand dictates a change in land use. Furthermore, the purpose of the district is:
(1) To allow for interim resource activities and utilization.
(2) To prevent the premature division and development of land in a manner which would preclude logical future urban development.
(3) To provide for limited interim partitioning, development and use of existing parcels until such time the lands are needed for urban development and easily accessed by public services.
