Rural Residential District

To accommodate all types of residential structures, single family and multi-family, to ensure a balanced community. Densities of 3 to 4 units per acre, depending on type of residential use, are encouraged in this district. The district encourages continued development of the Riegelsville Borough as the regional center. All such uses should have public sewer and water. Performance standards encourage and ensure the protection of natural resources on the site. The district has rolling topography and through careful sitting of new development, could provide a unique opportunity to use the topography in creating attractive and innovative designs that will provide scenic views of the surrounding landscape and attractive living environments. Where possible, it is encouraged that the topography be incorporated into the design solutions rather than extensive site leveling or re-grading of the site. Run-off from this district must not significantly increase the amount of ground water percolating into the underlying rock strata. Those areas not specifically in the Carbonate Geology District should channel run-off out and away from that region.
