• Fox Den Acres page 2 ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan, Land Use and Zoning: The table below identifies the existing land use and zoning as well as guided land uses for the area. Location Existing Land Use Guided Land Use Existing Zoning Site vacant 40 acres: Low Density Sewered Resid. R -1 North radio tower and other communication facilities Low Density Unsewered and Sewered Residential R -1 South wetland Low Density Unsewered Resid. Rural East wetland Low Density Unsewered Resid. Rural West single family residential Low Density Sewered Resid. R -1 The majority of the site, the 40 -acre square, is guided for Low Density Sewered Residential land use (up to three units per acre), is within the stage 1 growth area (pre2010), is in the MUSA, and is zoned R -1.
