SC-1
Residential Suburban Countryside District
The intent of the SC-1 district is to allow medium density residential development. The SC-1 district is intended for limited areas suitable for such development by virtue of their non-prime, non-erodible soils and their suitability for conventional septic systems. In many cases, these areas are already largely committed to medium and low density residential subdivisions. Cluster development is encouraged in order to protect environmental and scenic resources.
