Zoning

Accordingly, the district incorporates a density standard which, among other things, provides for farm and low-density dwelling uses, discourages isolated higher density development but permits rural cluster subdivision as conditional uses and facilitates the conservation of agricultural and woodland areas and surface and underground water supplies and the control of soil erosion and surface water flooding.; In the R-5 Agricultural/Rural Residence District, the following regulations shall apply.
