Future Land Use Map
11
Most Land in Montura Estates is
designated Residential – Pre-existing
Rural Estates
Uses permitted in Montura Ranch
Estates are: residential and general an
high intensity commercial, as well as
institution and recreation uses.
Density is one unit per acre.
FAR (intensity) is 0.25.
Not intended to receive urban services.
The areas that were established prior to
the adoption of Hendry County’s Future
Land Use Categories; reflects the
existence of large-scale lot
developments and other rural sub-
divided parcels.
Zoning Map
12
Most land in Montura is zoned Rural Residential Farm (RR-F)
which allows:
1. Domestic farm animals for household
use without numeric limit, except: a. Shall be enclosed on possessor's
property properly; b. Shall be fed, watered, and cared for in
proper manner; c. Keeping does not create a nuisance;
d. Animal waste shall not be allowed to remain on the premises creating a health or environmental hazard;
e. May not be bred for sale and animal products may not be sold.
2. Commercial agricultural activities.
3. Barbed wire fences.
Land Rights are important
Protections through basic regulations are also important
The study is seeking a balance between protecting your property and the freedom to use it as you please without negatively impacting your neighbors.
The goal is compatibility
Compatibility means: land uses co-exist in relative proximity to each other in a stable fashion over time such that no use is unduly negatively impacted directly or indirectly by another use.
13
Land Use Compatibility
Compatibility includes consideration of
impacts such as noise, vibration, odor,
lighting or visual impacts.
Ask the question, “Is the health, safety
and welfare of the one of the
properties at risk because of the
impacts from the other?”
Typically the more intense impacts the
less intense. Example: manufacturing
next to houses.
