Zoning

R-LD

Low-Density Residential District

The R-LD Low-Density Residential District is primarily intended to provide locations for low-density residential and related-type development in areas where topographic or other constraints preclude intense urban development. These areas are not likely to have public water and sewer services available, and the minimum required lot area will be one acre unless additional land area is required for adequate sewage disposal. These are environmentally sensitive areas that are characterized by one or more of the following conditions: Steep slopes, fragile soils, or flooding.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Religious facility
Housing-Single unit
Housing-Multiple units
Housing-Senior
Public service
