RP-5
Rural Preservation
Intended to protect and preserve specific rural resources or qualities including farmland, wetlands, significant wildlife habitats, catchment areas for important drainage basins, water resources, environmentally sensitive areas and natural recreational resources. This District also covers portions of the county that have open space with a rural character. This District is established to conserve these open spaces in order to facilitate: existing and future general farming operations; conservation of water and forest resources; and maintenance of a distinctly rural environment. While the intent of this District is similar to that of the A-5 Agricultural District, the emphasis on long-range protection of rural resources in this District is greater due to the specific characteristics or qualities of the land encompassed. Residential development should conform to the notion that it possesses lesser priority than the maintenance of the District's rural environment.
