Rural Residential-5 Zone
The Rural Residential-5 classification is intended to provide for low density rural home sites in an open space environment in order to encourage the continued existence of rural family life. The 5R zone is also intended to provide a transition from more intense residential development to the agriculture, timber and open space areas of the County. The zone may be applied to areas committed to nonresource use or reserved for rural residential expansion at this density, as specifically provided in the Douglas County Comprehensive Plan.
