R-15
Residential-15 District
The purpose of the Residential-15 (R-15) District is established to provide lands that accommodate very low to low density residential development that can serve as a transition between very low density residential development patterns and smaller lot, more dense residential areas of the County. District regulations discourage development that substantially interferes with the quiet residential and recreational nature of the district.
