RD
Low Density Dune Residential District
The ecology of the dunes and Lake Michigan shoreline are unique, but fragile, environmental features that provide character and lifestyle quality to the residents of Ferrysburg. The purpose of the RD District is to permit the establishment of a tenable balance between the delicate dunes and shoreline ecologies and human use. Improper and shortsighted development in dune and shoreline areas can result in large scale despoliation of property with resultant waste and depreciation of property values. Therefore the preservation of the dune and shoreline ecology and the regulation of development in the dune and shoreline areas are designed to promote the general welfare of the city and residents thereof.
