Suburban Reserve District
This district is intended to be served with sewer and water in the future and rezoned to Suburban (S) when the sewer construction is imminent. The district is also designed to permit limited development that does not foreclose ultimate sewering of the area. The preservation of large amounts of open space and agricultural land is encouraged in this district and such land may be used for spray irrigation as permitted by this Chapter.
