Multi-dwelling zoning districts.

1.

Purpose: The multi-dwelling category is intended to provide for the efficient use of land for higher density residential housing characteristic of duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes and apartments, including condominiums and in specified circumstances single-family site-built/manufactured, patio homes and townhomes. The multi-dwelling category is intended to establish, maintain and enhance higher density residential neighborhoods while allowing some forms of neighborhood commercial uses. Higher density residential uses are intended to be located in and around transportation corridors and office and commercial areas.

2.

Zoning district descriptions:

R-2—Multi-dwelling low density: The R-2 district is a low density multi-dwelling residential district allowing up to 15 dwelling units per acre. Single-family site-built/manufactured, patio homes, townhomes, apartments (in any configuration/grouping not exceeding the density or eight attached unit limit) and mobile home parks are the only types of housing permitted in this zone. This type of development should be compatible with high density single-family developments, medium density multi- dwelling districts and low intensity commercial districts.

R = Regular setback required for that zoning district (Buffering and/or screening are not required.)

2)
The second letter denotes the type of screening required for the particular zone/land use. (Refer to the Design standards for screen standards.)

A = Opaque screen

B = Semi-opaque screen

C = Broken Screen

Sec. 38-32. - Office, commercial, and industrial zoning districts.

A.

Office Zoning Districts.

1.

Purpose. The Office Category serves as a transition between commercial and residential uses. It includes business, personal and professional services that can function without generating large volumes of vehicular traffic. The category is divided into two zoning districts: Neighborhood and Professional. The Neighborhood District (O-1) provides zoning for small-scale type offices. These are typically low-intensity uses and may easily locate near residential areas due to their unobtrusive nature. The Professional District (O-2) provides zoning for those office uses that operate at a higher intensity. Both districts are required to provide buffering (only open space and drainage areas are permitted within these buffer zones) and landscaping when located adjacent to residential uses. Office uses, in these instances, may provide residents an opportunity to work close to home, furthering the City's mixed land use policy.

2.

Zoning District Descriptions.

O-1 OFFICE, NEIGHBORHOOD—LIMITED RETAIL SERVICE: These office uses are low-intensity, small-scale, and provide service activities (e.g., architect, attorney, and engineering consultant). No goods or merchandise are prepared or sold on the premises with the exception of those activities that serve the primary use. Access to streets that are a major local or higher designation is recommended.

Commercial Zoning Districts.

1.

Purpose. The Commercial Category represents a broad grouping of commercial zoning districts which are based on use, intensity, scale, and compatibility with the natural and urban environment. Commercial developments are intended to be clustered around nodes or centers whenever possible as a means of discouraging strip development.

2.

Zoning District Descriptions.

Industrial Zoning Districts.

1.

Purpose. The Industrial category provides the necessary guidance to permit all types of industrial uses within the City of Las Cruces. The Industrial category describes the industrial zoning districts and further defines the development requirements, design standards, uses allowed, and performance and mitigation techniques required in order to permit such industries that are in conformance with the Las Cruces Comprehensive Plan.

Industrial uses shall have direct access to a collector or higher designated roadway unless located in industrial parks. Internal streets within industrial parks may be constructed to standards lower than a collector as allowed within the City Design Standards. Industrial uses and parks should be developed so as to have minimal negative impact on adjacent uses.

2.

Zoning District Descriptions.

M-T INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY: The M-T district is intended to provide for industrial uses that specifically focus on high technology, research, warehousing and large-scale storage facilities and limited manufacturing or processing when ancillary to research and other high technology operations in a generally clean, quiet, and safe environment with minimal negative impacts on the surrounding environment and uses. Commercial and service uses are also introduced as a means of providing support and convenience to the intended land uses associated with this zoning district.
