The R-T zone is intended to be applied or assigned to lands within urban growth area boundaries that are essentially undeveloped, however, ultimately intended for suburban or urban residential use. Classifications would be inappropriate or premature to initially apply for a variety of reasons including promotion of unorderly growth or creation of public health and safety problems resultant from the unavailability of urban services.
