Resort Commercial District

The purpose of the Resort Commercial District is to provide land areas which, through their natural location and setting and manmade attributes, attract resort activities. The district shall be located and implemented consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The district should be located in such areas where adequate public services such as roads, sewer, water and drainage are available, and be of such size that a viable resort can be established and maintained. The district should provide for uses normally found in resort areas and encourage the type of development which occurs in a cohesive fashion and which promotes open space and other amenities considered significant for viable resort areas. This district may be located in an urban growth area, a rural community, or rural business area, as designated in the Comprehensive Plan. New development or redevelopment in an RC District located in a rural community designation is limited to that which is consistent with the character of the area on July 1, 1990, in terms of building size, scale, use, or intensity. New development in a rural business designation is limited to isolated small-scale businesses.
