Agricultural/Residential District
The Residential /Agricultural District is designed primarily to retain and provide areas of lowdensity housing, particularly of the single-family type, in a rural setting. Agricultural and forestry uses of all types are essential to the concept of a rural setting. Areas of moderate density housing surrounded by open space or working landscapes, as well as homesteading occupations and cottage industries are accepted features of this district. Privacy, greenery, scenic views and vistas, local natural recreational opportunities, working residences and/or small residential clusters constitute the character of the neighborhood.
