Valley Resource Conservation District
The purpose of these districts is to implement the goals, objectives and principles of the 2002 Master Plan relative to protecting environmentally sensitive areas, recognizing development capacity limitations established by natural resource capabilities, maintaining the rural character and providing for sustainable development. These districts have been designed to comprehensively address the interrelated goals of protecting groundwater quantity and quality, maintaining surface water resources, conserving the scenic rural character, addressing limiting soil conditions and promoting continued agricultural use opportunities, while also providing a range of development opportunities that offer alternatives for the landowner.
