RR
Rural Residential District
The intent of this district is to allow for rural residential and resource-based uses in areas that are generally accessible from town roads, close to existing development, not characterized by significant natural constraints to development, and/or less well-suited for productive use. Clustering of residential development on smaller lots is strongly encouraged to protect rural character, retain open space and preserve working lands. The purpose of this district is to implement the goals and policies of the Rupert Town Plan. Specifically the town plan calls for these regulations to: Allow for new residential development in areas served by existing roads; Support the efficient use of land; Allow for resource-based industries in appropriate locations – to include an adequate land base for farming and forestry, needed support services and value-added production; and Allow home-based businesses in suitable rural locations.
