DeKalb Land Use Categories
There are 16 land use categories defined, the first six are
residential categories. Land use categories are broad descriptions.
Each land use category includes several zoning categories which
are more specific as to permitted uses and restrictions.
Residential land use categories
LDR - Low Density Residential
Includes single family, detached-unit residential development
at a maximum net density of 0 to 4 dwelling units per acre.
This land use categore includes large areas of the County which
are already developed in single family residential subdivisions
at a net density of two to three and a half units per acre,
and it includes those areas which are likely to develop in
a similar manner over the next twenty years. Also, some churches,
cemeteries and other institutions are designated as LDR where
the county intends those properties to remain as similar institutions
or revert to LDR when the respective church, cemetery, or institutional
use is discontinued.
The Low Density Residential land use category also includes
the less intensively developed rural and suburban fringe areas
of the County which are not likely to exceed one residential
unit per acre. Residential lands which have significant constraints
to development that reduce the carrying capacity to less than
four units per acre. A watershed protection corridor along
the Yellow River is also included within this land use category.
Therefore, this land use category may include a range of lot
sizes from quarter acre lots up to lots of five to ten acres
in size.
LMR - Low-Medium Density Residential
Includes single family detached, single family attached, duplex,
triplex, townhouse, and condominium types of development at
a maximum net density of 0 to 8 dwelling units per acre. Also,
some churches, cemeteries and other institutions are designated
as LMR where the county intends those properties to remain
as similar institutions or revert to LMR when the respective
church, cemetery, or institutional use is discontinued.
MDR - Medium Density Residential
Includes single family detached, single family attached, duplex,
triplex, townhouse, and condominium types of development at
a density of 0 to 12 dwelling units per acre.
MHR - Medium-High Density Residential
Includes single family detached, single family attached, duplex,
triplex, townhouse, condominiums, and multi-family apartment
types of development at a net density of 0 to 18 dwelling units
per acre.
HDR - Medium Density Residential
Includes single family detached, single family attached, duplex,
triplex, townhouse, and condominiums, and multi-family apartment
types of development at a maximum net density of 18.1 to 30
dwelling units per acre.
VHR - Very High Density Residential
Includes multi-family apartments and high rise apartment types
of development at a net density of greater than 30 dwelling
units per acre. Buildings in this category will likely exceed
five stories in height and will occur as part of larger intensively
developed mixed-use centers.
Non-residential land use categories
LIC - Low Intensity Commercial
Includes ther more traditional suburban neighborhood and community
oriented stores and shopping centers located throughout the
county. Properties identified as Low Intensity Commercial tend
to be single-use oriented, have less intensive employee/acre
ratios and rarely exceed two stories.
HIC - High Intensity Commercial
Includes regional commercial centers and other intensively
developed centers where commercial land uses predominate. Retail
commercial uses are anticipated to represent 50% or more, of
the land in this category. The Perimeter Center and Northlake
Malls are considered to be High Intensity commercial centers.
OPR - Office/Professional
Includes the less intensive office and professional center
land uses including low-rise office parks, single free standing
office buildings, depository facilities such as banks, and
residential structures converted to office use. Office land
uses tend to be single-use oriented and have less intensive
employee/acre ratios.
OMX - Office/Mixed Use
Includes intensively developed office lands and mixed-use
centers where office uses represent 50% or more of the land
uses. However, mixed commercial, entertainment, recreation
and residential land uses may be found in variable lesser amounts
within the Office/Mixed-Use land use areas. The office developments
around Perimeter Center and Northlake Malls, and at Century
Center and Executive Park serve as examples of this land use
category.
IND - Industrial
Includes light and heavy distribution, warehouse, assembly,
manufacturing, quarry, and truck terminal land uses throughout
DeKalb County. This land use classification includes the County's
landfills.
TCU - Transportation/Communication/Utilities
Includes public, semi-public and private land uses which provide
transportation, communications or utility land uses. These
uses may include road and railroad rights-of-way, oil, gas
and water, electric power and telephone, transmission lines,
radio stations, raw water reservoirs and treatment facilities,
and wastewater treatment plants.
INS - Institutional
Includes community facilities and institutions which are anticipated
to remain in public use throughout the planning period. These
lands include: government-owned administration buildings and
offices, fire stations, public hospitals and health care facilities,
day care centers, public schools, colleges and educational
research lands. Cemeteries, churches, and other religious facilities
not designated in Low Density Residential or Low Medium Density
Residential are included in this land use category. The plan
anticipates that institutional uses in residential areas will
continue as the current use. If an institutional use vacates
property in residential areas then the property should be redeveloped
as a low density residential use, for example, the Georgia
Mental Health Instititute and Georgia Regional Hospital.
POS - Public and Private Parks and Open Space
Includes parks, golf courses, reservations, state forests,
and floodplains. These areas may be either publicly or privately
owned and may include playgrounds, nature preserves, wildlife
management areas, recreation center and similar uses.
AGR - Agriculture
Includes such uses as orchards, sod-farms, pasture land, croplands
and attendant farm residences and outbuildings.
VAC - Vacant and Undeveloped
Includes forested areas, undeveloped lands, and land not used
for any other identified purposes.
