The RR-1 District provides for the rural residential use of land, accommodating agriculture and low density residential environments. It is designed for permanent development of relatively remote areas that are beyond the reach of Kearney's foreseeable urban development pattern. RR-1 Districts do not permit comprehensive agriculture, and are intended for areas where farming is not a primary, permanent land use. Subdivisions in RR-1 Districts generally will be developed to rural standards, with gravel roads, surface drainage, and individual water and wastewater management systems. In parts of the Kearney jurisdiction with distinctive landforms, conservation development design is required to maintain the character of the land. These areas are designated by the RC, Rural Conservation Development Overlay District and are subject to special standards and planning procedures set forth in Chapter 40 of the Unified Land Development Ordinance. These standards encourage the preservation of important open space resources without reducing the density permitted the developer or property owner.
