Low Density Residential District

These districts are designed to provide suitable areas for low density residential development characterized by an open appearance. Generally, the residential development will consist of one- and two-family detached dwellings intermixed with farming and agricultural uses. These districts also include community facilities, public utilities and open uses which serve specifically the residents of these districts, or which are benefitted by an open residential environment without creating objectionable or undesirable influences upon residential developments. It is the intent of this ordinance that these districts be located in areas where full urban services are not available and may not be economically feasible to provide. It is the express purpose of this ordinance to exclude from these districts all buildings or other structures and uses having commercial characteristics, whether operated for profit or otherwise, except that conditional uses and home occupations specifically provided by these regulations for these districts shall be considered as not having such characteristics if they otherwise conform to the provisions of this ordinance.
