This district is meant to provide for a continuation of traditional lifestyles in sparsely populated areas with low intensity commercial, industrial, or other development; and to preserve the character of more remote rural areas. Additionally, residents of traditional rural areas typically have access to fewer public conveniences than more urban areas, but retain greater freedom in the manner in which they use their land.
