A.

The rural residential 1 zone serves as a residential transitional area between the suburban areas surrounding cities and towns and the agricultural districts. Specifically, the rural residential 1 applies to the Clark Addition and Kau Trail areas and is intended to:

1.

Provide an opportunity for rural residential living in areas close enough to cities and towns to permit commuting to work and in a manner that will not conflict with active agricultural production;

2.

Provide a buffer area between urban and suburban areas and those areas reserved for continued agricultural production, to lessen potential conflicts between development and agriculture;

3.

Provide a transitional area into which future suburban development can expand as and/or if needed;

4.

Provide areas for a continued mixture of low-density residential development and hobby farming activities;

5.

Provide a mechanism to in-fill existing development patterns in the Clark Addition and Kau Trail transitional areas;

6.

Contain low-density development within those outlying areas already substantially committed to this use.

B.

The rural residential 1 zone is characterized by a mixture of land uses encompassing small-scale commercial agriculture, part-time hobby farms, and scattered low-density commuter-residential development. Development in this zone should be primarily self-supporting and of a low density so as to not cause pollution problems which would force extensions of public water and sewer facilities.
