Rural District
This district is intended to protect those areas of Opelika, which are agricultural in character and use, and to provide areas for the development of extremely lowdensity residential uses. Development in these acres will be limited to acreage tracts and customary agricultural uses and it will be an area where mobile home living and recreational vehicle parks will be conditionally permitted. As increased services become available it is intended that this area will transition to higher intensity uses.
