Mount Pleasant regulates land through 29 zoning districts, and Planned Development is the largest by a wide margin at roughly 14,777 acres, nearly three times the largest conventional residential district.
Most of the town is therefore governed by approved plans rather than by the citywide tables.
The conservation family is unusually developed for a town of this size. Four districts cover it: Conservation Open Space at roughly 2,308 acres, Conservation Recreation Open Space at about 683, Community Conservation at roughly 457 and Rural Conservation at about 213. Distinguishing conservation by whether it is open space, recreational, community or rural is a careful treatment.
A Cultural Landscape district at roughly 475 acres is the more unusual designation. Zoning cultural landscape as its own category recognises land whose value lies in its historic and visual character rather than in its ecology alone.
A Waterfront Gateway Cooper district covers roughly 30 acres, naming a specific waterfront location.
The residential ladder runs low density at two levels covering roughly 6,544 acres, medium density at two levels covering about 445, rural residential at roughly 1,377, a mixed residential district at about 269 and a townhouse district at roughly 112.
Two Public Institutional districts cover roughly 376 acres. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
