Preservation District
The purpose of this district is to prescribe a zoning category for those areas where, because of natural geographic factors and existing land uses, it is considered feasible and desirable to conserve open spaces, water supply sources, woodland areas, wildlife and other natural resources. This district includes the County’s designated Rural Legacy Area, federal lands, state parks, state wildlife management areas, county parks, Edgemont Watershed, and most of the mountaintops and the Potomac River.
