SECTION 26

12.- DEVELOPING RESOURCE DISTRICT

Sec. 26-12-1.- Developing resource district, description.

The intent of the developing resource district (DR) is to provide for the annexation of those areas that are presently used for agriculture or other nonurban uses that are adjacent to the city limits of Lafayette. These areas are designated in the comprehensive plan as potentially suitable for urban development, but not in the immediate future because of lack of utilities, other services, or other needs.
