OSR
Open Space Residential Zone
The purpose of this Zone is to blend low density residential uses amid environmentally sensitive lands that have no or limited access to public infrastructure. This Zone seeks to permanently preserve open spaces characterized by woodlands, steep slopes and stream valleys. In addition this Zone will promote the preservation and enhancement of historical and cultural resources that contribute to the character and heritage of the community. Conservation design developments are encouraged to offer the greatest density and design flexibility so that proposed developments can partner in the protection of sensitive and/or valuable natural and cultural features of the site. Conventional developments that do not engage the conservation design process will be subject to density penalty.
