This district provides moderate development opportunity in a semirural, residential atmosphere. The district is established to encourage diversity of residential development and create a density conductive to alternative types of housing in the rural setting. Single-family detached dwellings are the principal permitted structures utilizing individual septic service or the community wastewater management system based on physical characteristics of the land and the capabilities of the surrounding area.
