In a recent government meeting, discussions centered on the potential for developing new residential areas in Larray, with a focus on creating \"village residential\" communities. Officials highlighted the interest from developers in constructing multiple small villages, akin to \"Hobbit towns,\" on larger tracts of land. This approach aims to integrate open spaces and enhance community living.

The conversation revealed that Larray has a variety of residential zoning classifications, including R1, R4, and R5, with significant vacant land available. Currently, R5 zoning permits only apartments and townhomes, but officials suggested that village residential could be added as a special use to this classification. This change would provide developers with more options and flexibility in their projects.

The meeting also touched on the procedural aspects of implementing such zoning changes, noting that public hearings and legal work would be necessary but manageable. Officials encouraged stakeholders to consider these developments and engage in further discussions.

Additionally, a logistical update was provided regarding a date change for the next meeting, which will no longer take place on Wednesday, reflecting adjustments from a prior council meeting schedule. This change is expected to affect attendance and planning for future discussions.
