RR3
Rural Residential Three-Acre District
Rural residential development areas designated on the land use map are intended to allow for the logical expansion of low-density, rural character residential development i.e., large lots served by individual well and septic and by rural cross-section roads. RRDAs are divided into two sub-categories: The RRDA three-acre area, which is the rural residential development area located within the well field watershed of the City of Cedar Rapids; and The RRDA two-acre area, which is not located within the city's well field watershed. The RRDA goals are supported by the LESA system scoring criteria, where points are withheld in predominantly agricultural settings but are awarded fairly readily in more suburban surroundings.
