Land Use Classifications: <br />A. There are 22 future land use classifications for the entire City, of which nine (9) are <br />specific to TCAAP. Each classification provides a brief description of the types of <br />land uses (i.e. commercial, industrial, residential) that are envisioned for future <br />development in these areas as well as a metric of development intensity such as the <br />proportion of uses within a development, maximum floor area ratio allowed, or a <br />range of units per acre allowed with residential uses. <br /> <br />The City is proposing amendments to the Neighborhood Residential (NR) <br />classification which is described to provide for a range of attached and detached <br />single-family and small multi-family uses at a density of one and one-half (1.5) to <br />eight (8) units per acre. Currently within the NR future land use classification there <br />are the following four subcategories based on lot and home styles: <br /> <br />o Neighborhood Residential One (NR-1) - Provides for detached single family <br />homes on traditional suburban lots at a density of one and one-half (1.5) to two <br />and one-half (2.5) units per acre. <br />o Neighborhood Residential Two (NR-2) - Provides for detached single family <br />homes on narrow lots with alleys at a density of two and one-half (2.5) to four (4) <br />units per acre. <br />o Neighborhood Residential Three and Four (NR-3&4) - Provides for attached <br />single family homes, duplexes, or townhomes on lots either with or without <br />alleys at a density of four (4) to eight (8) units per acre. <br /> <br />The proposed amendments to the future land use classifications would separate the <br />NR-3 and NR-4 subcategories in order to delineate the acreage and development <br />intensity of future development that is guided towards medium to high density
