In the longer term, after existing developable areas are built out, the areas within the UR Zone District are expected to be planned to accommodate more intensive, fully serviced development as part of future General Plan updates. The UR Zone District is consistent with all General Plan designations. (Ord. 526 § 1, 2010)
