RR
Rural Residential District
To provide areas of residential use where development is limited to a range of non-urban densities of single-family dwellings in areas having services similar to RA areas, but which are residential in character rather than agricultural due to the pattern of development and use in the area and/or the presence of constraints which would preclude the use of the property for agriculture.
