Village Residential District
The Village Residential District provides for low- or moderate-density residential use. Limited new infill residential development is directed to this district, so that the environment and natural resources of nearby rural areas are protected and preserved. These districts may have public water and/or sewer service; however, these services should not be the basis for new development inconsistent with the established scale or character of the Village.
