Urban Fringe District

The urban fringe district is intended to provide the opportunity for very low-density residential areas mixed with open space and agricultural activity on the periphery of the urban service area. The district allows for very low-density residential development of no greater than one unit on three acres of land, agricultural, and silvicultural activities. Residential development will also be allowed a gross density of one unit per three acres if developed as a conservation subdivision; For sites developed under the previously available 25—75 clustering option, the remaining undeveloped portion (75 percent) may continue to be preserved as undisturbed open (green) space until such time as these sites are included in the urban service area and become eligible for development at urban densities. As an alternative, sites developed under the previously available 25—75 clustering option may seek to develop the undeveloped portion (75 percent) at the urban fringe densities described above prior to the sites inclusion in the urban service area. For either development option, review by the Board of County Commissioners shall be requested to authorize development of these undisturbed open (green) spaces.; To conveniently serve area residents, smaller scale, low-intensity commercial development is permitted in this district. To maximize efficiency in the development of agricultural and silvicultural resources located within this zoning district and surrounding areas, agriculturally and silviculturally related industrial activities, such as milling, are permitted. Community facilities are also permitted in this district.
