RESOURCE MANAGEMENT OVERLAY
Residential Single-Family Low-Density District
It is the intent of the RS-2 Residential Single-Family Low Density District to establish a low density for single-family dwellings and other compatible uses in recognition of environmental constraints such as, but not limited to, steep slopes, impervious soils, high water tables, and flooding. It is also the intent of this district to preserve the general welfare by protecting important resources such as, but not limited to, watersheds and view sheds. In addition to recognizing environmental constraints and preserving important resources, this district is also intended to stabilize and protect the district's residential character while promoting a suitable environment for single-family living.
