Residential Agricultural District

This district is established in which the principal use of land is for medium density residential and agricultural purposes. In promoting the general purpose of this Ordinance, the specific intent of this section is: To encourage the construction of and the continued use of the land for residential and light agricultural purposes.; To encourage the development of residential neighborhoods that complement one another in creating an overall balance in the community by providing for a variety of dwellings suitable to all lifestyles and family sizes; To prohibit commercial and industrial use of the land and to prohibit any other use which would substantially interfere with development or continuation of dwellings in the district.; To encourage the discontinuance of existing uses that would not be permitted as new uses under the provisions of this section; To discourage any use which would generate traffic on minor streets other than normal traffic to serve residents on those streets.; To discourage any use which because of its character or size would create requirements and costs for public services, such as police and fire protection, water supply and sewerage, substantially in excess of such requirements and a cost if the district were developed solely for residential purposes.; To ensure that residential development not having access to public water supplies and dependent upon septic tanks for sewage disposal will occur at sufficient low densities to insure a healthful environment.
