The maximum allowable density ranges from 0.2 to dwellings per acre, with the specific allowable density for each parcel shown on the zoning map by a numerical suffix to the RR map symbol see Section 20-22.040. The RR zoning district implements and is consistent with the Residential Very Low Density land use classification of the General Plan.
