OUR
Open Use Rural District
The OUR District is intended to retain the open character of the land. This district is further intended for agricultural purposes and uses, and to preserve lands with agricultural development potential. Agriculturally oriented residential development is encouraged, and all commercial and industrial development is prohibited. The development of certain recreational activities considered appropriate for the district are permitted. Permitted uses are limited to conservation, agriculture, very low density residential development, recreation, and with certain limitations, other uses that are not contrary to the open character of the district; This district is generally used to implement the Comprehensive Plan within those areas shown as Rural on the Future Land Use Map. Lands within the Urban Service Area Boundary that have existing OUR zoning are acknowledged, and are considered to be consistent with the Future Land Use Map. However, OUR-zoned lands within the Urban Service Area Boundary may be rezoned to a more intensive zoning district consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
