MF36 — Multi-Family Residential

No minimum lot area (N/A). Minimum lot width 60 feet, minimum lot depth 100 feet (Table 2-11).

MHR — Manufactured Home Residential

No minimum lot area listed in the district table (N/A in Table 2-12), though the residential summary Table 2-24 lists 4,500 square feet minimum for MHR; the discrepancy between the district table and the summary table is review-gated. Minimum lot width 60 feet (district table) / 40 feet (summary table, also review-gated), minimum lot depth 100 feet (district table) / 95 feet (summary table).

AG — Agriculture

Minimum lot area 5 acres, minimum lot width 100 feet, minimum lot depth 0 feet (no minimum specified) (Table 2-21). Confirmed against the source table image; the earlier reading against the linear PDF text extraction had left the area/width/depth pairing ambiguous, but the table's own grid lines resolve it cleanly.

TMN — Traditional McKinney Neighborhood Overlay

For single-family residential lots and structures in the TMN Overlay: minimum lot area 80 percent of the underlying base district minimum, minimum lot width 90 percent, minimum lot depth 90 percent (Table 2-23).
