Downtown Zoning

The City of Round Rock is reevaluating the downtown mixed-use zoning districts to ensure they meet the needs and preferences of the Round Rock community today.

It has been over 10 years since City Council adopted mixed-use zoning districts downtown. The zoning districts are intended to implement the 2010 Downtown Master Plan’s vision to create a thriving downtown featuring a viable mix of retail, dining, entertainment, residential and public spaces in a walkable and historically sensitive environment.

Existing Downtown Mixed-Use Districts

  • MU-1 (Mixed-Use Historic Commercial Core): One-to-three story buildings designed to complement, but not imitate, the Downtown Historic District. Primary uses are retail, restaurant, and entertainment, with limited residential and office on upper floors.
  • MU-2 (Mixed-Use Downtown Medium Density): A wider variety of building types and combinations of commercial, office and residential uses, including many housing types, including apartments, houses, live-work spaces, and accessory units.
  • MU-L (Mixed-Use Limited): A variety of residential uses and limited commercial and office uses, with buildings designed to complement the existing neighborhood of single-family houses, many of them historic.
