Summary

Cedar Park's Development Reserve (DR) district -- the default zoning for newly annexed land -- is described in the zoning code as covering large undeveloped tracts used for agricultural purposes or very-low-density home sites.

Large tracts of undeveloped land generally that may be used for agricultural uses and/or individual home sites at a very low density. This district may be assigned to land that is annexed into the City prior to its designation of permanent zoning in accordance with the future land use plan. Land previously zoned Rural Agricultural "RA" is now zoned Development Reserve (DR).

Full Breakdown

Table 11.02.002 of the Cedar Park Zoning Ordinance describes the Development Reserve (DR) district's purpose as large tracts of undeveloped land generally usable for agricultural purposes and/or individual home sites at very low density. Any land newly annexed into the city is automatically assigned DR zoning until the City Council sets permanent zoning under section 11.02.004. DR replaced the former 'Rural Agricultural (RA)' district carried over from the prior code.

Violations & Fines

Developing beyond the district's low-density description without City Council approval of permanent zoning is not authorized; changing use requires a rezoning application under Article 11.06's public hearing procedures.
