The Recreational-Residential Districts provide for one- and two-family yearround and seasonal residential and recreational development and essential recreation-oriented services in areas of high residential and recreational value protected from traffic hazards and the intrusion of incompatible land uses. It is intended to encourage such development around existing residential and recreational areas where soil conditions and physical features will support and are suitable for such development without depleting or destroying natural resources. It is also intended that these areas are economically able to be provided with and readily served by utilities, roads, and other essential facilities and services.

Each district will have the same principal requirements with the only substantive difference being the permitted dimensional sizing.
