The intent of this district is to permit single-family and multifamily residential
development up to sixteen dwelling units per acre in areas characterized by: (1) a
lack of severe and/or moderate physical limitations; (2) proximity to urban core or
incorporated areas; (3) availability of urban services (i.e., water, sewer, roads,
shopping, schools, etc.); (4) a likelihood of future annexation; (5) superior transportation
access; and (6) designated areas within the Grand Mound urban growth area to ensure
more compact development.
