RR-3
Rural-Residential District
The purpose of this district is to recognize the development opportunities and limitations of the Brunswick shale formation and underlying soils; to protect groundwater quantity and quality and to limit degradation of this resource; to maintain and enhance forested areas; to preserve stream quality which feeds the Canal; and to permit relatively low-density single-family residential development.
