Section 305.1 Uses.
Three zones are identified
in the HxC-PD. Zone "H" refers to a "High Intensity
Zone", Zone "M" refers to a "Medium Intensity
Zone", and Zone "L" refers to a "Low Intensity
Zone".
The uses are allocated
to high, medium and low intensity categories. High intensity uses
are suitable fronting State Highway 71 and include uses typically
found in C-1 and C-2. Medium intensity uses are appropriate along
all thoroughfares and collectors in the Hx-C district to within 300
feet of the LCRA easement. Low intensity uses are uses allowed within
a 300' deep zone and abutting residential properties within the Hx-R
district.
Zone "H" uses are appropriate for highway adjacency and
have no compatibility with single family uses. Zone "M"
uses are higher intensity uses that are not compatible with single
family uses, but may be somewhat compatible if greater setbacks (300)
are provided from the single family. Zone "L" uses are generally
compatible when placed adjacent to single family uses. All uses in
the lists below may be located in Zone "H." All uses allowed
in Zone "L" are allowed in
Zone "H" and "M." Several uses are listed in "Uses
and activities expressly disallowed," which are disallowed by
the Hunter's Crossing Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions (CCRs).
The letter "L" shown after the use in the lists below indicates
the only uses allowed in Zone "L" and also allowed in Zones
"M" and "H." The letter "M" shown
after the use in the lists below indicates the uses not allowed in
Zone "L" but allowed in Zones "M" and "H."
The letter "H" shown after the use in the lists
below indicates uses not allowed in Zones "L" or "M."
The Letter "C" after any use listed requires a conditional
use permit for the lowest zone allowed. Note
that commercial uses adjacent to single family uses will require screening
and setbacks.
The following uses are allowed by right in these categories:
Residential Uses
Multi-family, Apartments and Condominiums (up to 25 units/acre) -
