Residential Low Density District

The zoning of property to the Residential Low Density District is intended to a provide for the development of large-lot single-family residential neighborhoods that retain the character of a rural area with limited residential development b. maintain and enable accessory limited garden uses, and c to serve as a holding zone for lands where urban expansion may be proposed but is not yet appropriate due to inadequately available facilities or services. This district is suitable in locations where paved public roads, schools, central water supply with adequate capacity for domestic and reasonable fire fighting purpose as required by the County Fire Code, all usual residential utility services, and public safety services are readily available as required in the minimum infrastructure requirements in Article 31 of these regulations. This district is not suitable in all rural locations; it is inappropriate in areas predominantly agricultural in character where public facilities and services are adequate only to meet the needs of farm residences and farm operations. In general, this district is intended to have lots which are served by local or collector streets without fronting onto arterial streets unless such frontage would clearly be of an interim nature. This district is also intended to serve as a holding zone for lands where future urban expansion is possible but not yet appropriate due to inadequately available urban level facilities and services.
