§ 44-81. Development intensity standards.  


Latest version.
  • Development intensity standards are established to determine an appropriate carrying capacity for a designated land use for all general zoning districts and overlay zones. Except where special development standards or planned development standards for certain land uses apply in article VI, these standards shall apply to principally permitted uses within their appropriate zoning district.
