RR
Rural Residential District
The R-R Rural Residential District is established to provide an opportunity for rural residential development in the County, to maintain areas that are developed with single family detached housing on larger parcels, and to preserve open space and natural features. Parcels zoned R-R should be low density development with larger lots to accommodate the need for individual wells and septic systems. The R-R Rural Residential District is intended to be consistent with the concepts of the rural designation established during the County's land use planning process, adopted in the Peoria County Comprehensive Land Use Plan and shown on the County's Land Use Form map.
