Rural Residential 1 Zone

The rural residential 1 zone serves as a residential transitional area between the suburban areas surrounding cities and towns and the agricultural districts. Specifically, the rural residential 1 applies to the Clark Addition and Kau Trail areas and is intended to: Provide an opportunity for rural residential living in areas close enough to cities and towns to permit commuting to work and in a manner that will not conflict with active agricultural production; Provide a buffer area between urban and suburban areas and those areas reserved for continued agricultural production, to lessen potential conflicts between development and agriculture; Provide a transitional area into which future suburban development can expand as and/or if needed; Provide areas for a continued mixture of low-density residential development and hobby farming activities; Provide a mechanism to in-fill existing development patterns in the Clark Addition and Kau Trail transitional areas;6.Contain low-density development within those outlying areas already substantially committed to this use.; The rural residential 1 zone is characterized by a mixture of land uses encompassing small-scale commercial agriculture, part-time hobby farms, and scattered low-density commuter-residential development. Development in this zone should be primarily self-supporting and of a low density so as to not cause pollution problems which would force extensions of public water and sewer facilities.
