RD
Residential District
The Residential District RD is intended to provide for residential development in proximity to the Town Centers of Prince Frederick, Solomons, Lusby, North Beach, and Chesapeake Beach. This district allows for higher residential densities in proximity to Town Centers through the purchase of Transferable Development Rights TDRs. However, the ability to achieve maximum permitted density is dependent, in part, on the availability of sewerage service. This district also recognizes existing agriculture and accommodates agricultural uses. To avoid drawing commercial activity away from Town Centers, commercial uses are limited in this district.
