PIERCE COUNTY ZONING INFORMATION

D. Urban Residential.

1. Purpose. To provide for single-family and two-family dwelling units in a residential environment.

2. Description. There are five Urban Residential zone classifications: Moderate-High Density Residential, High Density Single-Family, Moderate Density Single-Family, Single-Family, and Residential Resource.

a. Moderate-High Density Residential. The Moderate-High Density Residential (MHR) zone classification includes areas that are composed of moderate- and high-density, single-, two-, and multi-family housing and compatible civic uses.

b. High Density Single-Family. The High Density Single-Family (HSF) zone classification includes areas where sewers are available and there are minimal environmental constraints. This classification is strictly comprised of moderate- to high-density, attached and detached single-family development and civic uses.

c. Moderate Density Single-Family. The Moderate Density Single-Family (MSF) zone classification covers geographic areas located within urban growth areas but that fall outside of an Employment Center, Urban Center, or Urban District. The primary use of the classification is low- and moderate-density, single- and two-family residential activities and compatible civic uses in areas with a mixed residential pattern.

d. Single-Family. The Single-Family (SF) classification covers geographic areas located within urban growth areas but that fall outside of an Employment Center, Urban Center, or Urban District. The primary use of the classification is low- and moderate-density, single-family residential activities and compatible civic uses in areas with a predominantly detached single-family development pattern.

e. Residential Resource. The Residential Resource (RR) zone classification is intended to accommodate and allow for low-density, single-family residential uses in a manner that is compatible with areas of unique open space character and/or environmental sensitivity.
