MF lot size standards are review gated pending human verification. A parcel's full zoning in Leander is a composite designation that pairs a use component with a site component (Type 1 through 5, art. V) and an architectural component (Type A through D, art. VII), for example SFU-2-B. The controlling text is Leander Code of Ordinances ch. 14, exh. A (Composite Zoning Ordinance), art. III, sec. 21 (lot size summary) and art. V (site components). This cell is review gated and should be checked against the live cited source before import or publish. Confirm the parcel's full composite designation, overlays, ordinance conditions, and any PUD or development agreement with the Leander Planning Department before acting.
