(22-2)(a)(2)
Zoning district intent statements. The following zoning district intent statements establish the purpose and intent of each zoning district:
a.
Natural conservation (N-CON). The natural conservation district is intended to conserve and protect natural, open, or environmentally sensitive land while preventing the encroachment of incompatible land uses.
b.
Rural agriculture (R-AG-5). The rural agriculture district is intended to protect farming and ranching uses while preventing the encroachment of incompatible land uses. The area and intensity of land uses permitted in this district promotes existing agricultural uses. This district also allows residential cluster developments with smaller minimum lot sizes in exchange for protecting significant common open space.
c.
Residential nonconventional (R-3-NC). The residential nonconventional district is intended to provide for residential developments for manufactured housing either in manufactured home parks or on individual lots.
d.
Residential single-family (R-15, R-10, R-8, R-6, and R-3-Z).
1.
The residential single-family districts are intended to accommodate single-family houses on individual lots. These districts should be applied in areas where the land use pattern is predominantly single-family residential or where such land use pattern is desired in the future.
2.
The residential single-family districts vary primarily on the minimum lot size for a single-family house within the district.
i.
The R-15 district generally requires 15,000 square feet.
ii.
The R-10 district generally requires ten thousand (10,000) square feet.
iii.
The R-8 district generally requires 8,000 square feet.
iv.
The R-6 district generally requires 6,000 square feet.
v.
The R-3-Z district generally requires four thousand (4,000) square feet.
e.
Residential duplex (R-3-D). The residential duplex district is intended to provide for attached housing with a maximum of two (2) dwelling units per building, with the design and character of a single-family home. Structures may be divided horizontally or vertically. Duplex zoning can serve as a transition between higher density residential or commercial development and lower density single-family development.
f.
Residential townhouse (R-3-TH). The residential townhouse district is intended to provide for attached housing on individual lots. Townhouse zoning can serve as a transition between higher density residential or commercial development and lower density single-family development.
g.
Residential multifamily (R-3-M, R-3-E, and R-3-M25).
1.
The residential multifamily districts are intended to accommodate a mix of housing. The districts are generally intended to provide for the integration of single-family, two-family and multifamily together.
2.
The residential multifamily districts vary primarily on the maximum density within the district.
i.
The R-3-M district generally allows up to fifteen (15) dwelling units per acre.
ii.
The R-3-E district generally allows up to twenty-five (25) dwelling units per acre, with an emphasis on senior housing and services.
iii.
The R-3-M25 district generally allows up to twenty-five (25) dwelling units per acre.
h.
Mixed use (R-3-MU). The mixed use district is intended to promote safe, active, and pedestrian-scaled mixed use centers as part of a neighborhood. The R-3-MU district enhances the convenience, ease and enjoyment of walking, shopping and public gathering spaces. Although buildings can be exclusively residential or nonresidential in use, the vertical mixing of uses (floor-to-floor) is encouraged.
i.
Limited business (B-1). The limited business district is intended to provide for a lower-intensity commercial zoning district for office and limited retail uses as a transition zone adjacent to residential development.
j.
Commercial (C-1 and C-2). The commercial districts are intended to balance the need for safe, active, and pedestrian-scaled areas with the need for parking between the buildings and the street. While the commercial districts allow buildings to be built to the street edge, the district is intended to address auto-dominated corridors where it is infeasible or impractical to require buildings pulled up to the street. The primary distinction between the C-1 and C-2 districts are the intensity of commercial uses permitted.
k.
Main street (C-MS). The main street district is intended to promote safe, active, and pedestrian-scaled mixed use streets. This district may be applied in a linear fashion along a block face or at corners of key intersections. The C-MS district should be applied where a higher degree of walkability and pedestrian activity is desired. The C-MS district allows uses to be mixed both vertically within a building or horizontally on a site.
l.
Employment (E-1). The employment district is intended to accommodate light manufacturing, research and development, warehousing, wholesale, and retail uses. This district represents a lower-intensity alternative to the Industrial district to provide for continued employment and economic growth in Gonzales.
m.
Industrial (I-1). The industrial district is intended to accommodate higher-intensity commercial and industrial uses that should not be located near residential areas because of their intensity or the nature of their services.
n.
Traditional neighborhood development (TND). A traditional neighborhood development (TND) is not a single zoning district, but is a process to apply specifically tailored regulations to a tract of land for the purpose of building complete neighborhoods. The process and requirements for traditional neighborhood developments (TND) are established in section 22-6(b)(8), traditional neighborhood development (TND).
