Kearney City Zoning Code

CHAPTER 17

DISTRICT RR-2, RURAL RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT INTERMEDIATE STANDARDS

17-101 - PURPOSE

The RR-2 District provides for the low-density residential use of land, accommodating limited agriculture as an interim use, low density residential environments, and compatible civic uses. It is designed for residential subdivisions surrounding Kearney's corporate limits. Because of their proximity to the City, subdivisions in RR-2 Districts may be required to meet City standards for infrastructure development, with gravel or paved roads and surface drainage. They may be provided with City or individual water supply and will use either community or individual wastewater systems. Subdivision design should generally be capable of transitioning to higher densities, if urban services become available in the future. 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.
