Rural Residential District

To provide for low-intensity development in areas that are unlikely to ever be served by public water and sewage services. To recognize that many of these areas include sensitive natural features, particularly steep slopes and wetlands. To protect the water quality and habitats along creeks, and promote groundwater recharge. To provide a certain amount of flexibility in lot layout through conservation design so that development can be clustered on the most suitable portions of a tract of land. To encourage the voluntary transfer of density from these areas to areas that are suitable for more intense development.
