Purpose
To
allow select residential development in areas where
vacant or farmed land has become subject to increased
amounts of single family residential development. This
district is intended to be reserved for future higher
density rural residential development when support
services and infrastructure can be provided. Development
in this district shall maintain a low density rural
environment until such time as the need for additional
rural residential development and rezoning to Residential
(R).
In Rural
Residential Zoning Districts there is limited livestock
raising
permitted. Residents in this district who have not previously
had livestock registered to their site are allowed to have
.5 animal
units per animal accessible acre and not more than 49
animal units total. If there is a current feedlot registration
on file for the site, the farm may continue to operate as
described in the registration. If a livestock operator wishes
to expand beyond their current registration or open a site
with more than 49 animal units, the individual must apply
for a variance.
