Zoning
R1
Rural Residential District
The R-1 Rural Residential District is a low-density residential district intended for large lot detached single-family homes or small farmettes in the rural areas of the county, and also in subdivisions closer to the cities. This district shall permit residential development to be integrated with terrain and tree cover with a minimal disruption to natural systems existing in the area. The R-1 zoning district allows farm uses, singlefamily dwellings, public buildings, temporary mobile homes, home based businesses and household or home occupations. This district is designed to have the largest lots and setbacks and generally uses individual wells and septic systems. It is intended to be a mixture of agricultural and residential uses that can be used as a buffer between higher density commercial and residential subdivisions and undeveloped agricultural areas.
