Refer to Section 4.2.3 land use restrictions. 1 Staff is recommending increasing the maximum allowable acreage that can be rezoned to HP -CZD from 50 to 100 acres. This will allow for larger home parks and an increase in the opportunity for additional affordable housing options. Further, increasing the acreage will allow for additional units in areas of the County with more restrictive density limitations (i.e. University Lake and Cane Creek Watershed Protection Overlay Districts where density is typically 1 unit for every 5 acres of property).
