RCR-10
AC
Rural Country Residential-10 Zone
The purpose of the RCR zone is to allow for the appropriate development of large-lot single-family homes, small farmsteads, and related uses in the rural and agricultural areas of the county. The RCR zone is applied to regional areas of the county for the protection of a quiet, country-like setting and does not permit certain uses that would interfere with this purpose. Standards for the RCR zone are intended to preserve and protect the character of existing rural residential areas and ensure that future rural residential development is compatible with adjacent agricultural uses. Permitted residential uses in the RCR zones include a single-family home, small residential care home, and an accessory dwelling unit. Animal grazing, crop cultivation, private and semiprivate stables, on-site agricultural product sales, and other similar agricultural activities are permitted uses in the RCR zone. The minimum permitted parcel size in the RCR zone is 10 acres. The RCR zone implements the Rural Residential land use designation in the General Plan.
