The R-40 district are base zoning districts. The purpose of the R-40 district is to establish a district in which the principal use of the land is for low-density residential and agricultural purposes and to encourage the continuance of residential and agricultural uses. To insure that residential development, not having access to public water and sewer, and when dependent on septic tanks for sewage disposal, will occur at sufficiently lower densities to provide for a healthy environment.
