RR
M/LR-B
Residential Rural District
The RR District is established to provide for agricultural activities and residential development on lots of one acre or greater and in conservation subdivisions. Commercial and industrial development is generally prohibited. This district is used to implement the Comprehensive Plan within those areas shown as the Rural Tier. Lands within other Tiers that have existing RR zoning are acknowledged; however, such lands may be rezoned to more intensive zoning districts consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The regulations of this district are designed to discourage the development of urban services and to encourage the maintenance of an open and rural character.
