§ 40-130. Purpose and intent.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    RR zoning districts are intended to implement the estate/rural residential and rural character areas established on the future development map of the city comprehensive plan, as provided in the community agenda. Sanitary sewer service is generally not available to land in this zoning district, and public water may or may not be available. The RR zoning district establishes a minimum lot size of 60,000 square feet (one unit per 1.38 acres) and a minimum lot width of 150 feet. A minimum house size (heated floor area per dwelling unit) of 2,000 square feet is established for new construction (not applicable to reconstruction if a natural disaster or fire occurs).

    (b)

    The overall intent of this zoning district is to preserve rural and estate residential character, and provide for very low-density rural residential uses. Areas designated as RR zoning are inappropriate for urban development. Future development in this district must observe policies and guidelines for preserving rural character.
