RA Residential Agriculture District

4.1.1.1

Purpose. This district is designed to preserve temporarily in agricultural use land which is suited for eventual development in some urban use, pending the need and the economical provision of major streets, utilities and other facilities. This district is composed mainly of unsubdivided lands that are vacant or in agricultural use with some dwellings and accessory uses.

4.1.1.2

Permitted Uses. Uses permitted in the RA District are set forth in Table 4.2.

4.1.2

RE, RS, RM, and RT Residential Districts.

4.1.2.1

General Purposes. The regulations for the RS, RM and RT Districts are designed (1) to protect the residential character of the included areas by excluding commercial and industrial activities, (2) to encourage a suitable environment for family life by permitting such neighborhood facilities as churches, schools and playgrounds, (3) to permit certain appropriate institutions to be located in residential neighborhoods, (4) to preserve openness of the areas and avoid overcrowding by requiring certain minimum yards, open spaces, and site areas and, (5) to make available a variety of dwelling types and densities in a variety of locations to serve a wide range of individual requirements.

4.1.3

RE Residential Estate District.

4.1.6.1

Purpose. The Residential Estate District is intended to provide low-density, limited growth residential areas. It is designed to accommodate residential development opportunities for those who desire exurban, low density, or estate living and are willing to live in more remote areas and assume the costs of providing many of their own services and amenities. The public provisions of these services are precluded because the City of Bartlesville must concentrate its limited resources in areas where more intense future development is logical. Unlike the Residential-Agriculture District, the Estate District is not to be considered a holding zone or temporary zone which will permit more intensive zoning at a future date.

4.1.6.2

Permitted Uses. Uses permitted in the RE District are the same as the RS District as set forth in Table 4.2 except that one horse or pony per two acres of land may be maintained.

4.1.6.3
