Lake Protection Node Overlay

This zoning district specifies permitted uses, and urban design and other development standards, including current Lake Protection stormwater standards and requirements and perhaps a cap on total acres in the Lake Jackson Basin that can be placed in the new district. Properties that could be considered for rezoning to new Lake Protection Node would include non-conforming uses, vacant properties whose highest and best use may be commercial or office to serve the surrounding residential areas, and other properties suitable for higher density housing. The extent of these nodal areas would ideally be within a radius of ¼ mile of a main intersection, which is a five-minute walk for most people.
