LDR
Low-Density Residential District
The Low Density Residential District LDR is designated for land where central water and sewer facilities are generally unavailable, but the land is close enough to the in-town area that other municipal services are easily accessible, and soils and other natural conditions enable the area to accommodate residential growth. The district is intended to accommodate a mixture of residential uses, open space uses, and rural uses compatible with a low-density residential environment.
