Estate District
The intent of the E-3 Estate District is to accommodate single-family residences on a minimum of 3 acres that, due to topography and location, are well suited for single-family use. The E-3 District is intended to be located in close proximity to municipalities or historic town centers where infrastructure and services are readily accessible, to encourage the compact and contiguous development policy of the 2030 Plan, and shall take into consideration the densities of the adjacent municipality.
