OS/C
Open Space/Conservation District
The OS/C-Open Space/Conservation District seeks to preserve and protect open areas, essential watersheds, and woodlands from intensive development by limiting land uses to those which do not degrade the environmental quality of lands within the District. This District is characterized by sparse residential land uses and contains provisions which seek to provide additional protection of rural residences from the impacts of other non-residential uses. Larger minimum lot sizes are indicated because public sewer and water facilities are not planned for this District.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Agriculture
Housing-Single unit
Public service
