Planned Rural District

The purpose of zoning of property to the PRUR, Planned Rural District, is to provide for Planned Rural Development Subdivisions that contain single-family residential areas and rural use areas that: maintain or enhance the rural character of the area; are sensitive to the physical characteristics of the sites; protect natural resource areas; place new, permanent, single-family dwellings on smaller lots that are in Residential Groupings to realize greater economies in the provision of infrastructure to the new lots, especially with regard to the layout of roads, the provision of water lines for both domestic needs and fire protection purposes, and the provision of wastewater disposal systems; and minimize negative impacts on existing roads and the infrastructure in the area, for example, by minimizing the number of access points onto existing roads and by grouping new, permanent, single-family dwellings so they can be served by fewer and shorter roads and fewer and shorter connections to utility lines that have the capacity to serve the needs of the Planned Rural Development Subdivisions.
