The purpose of this district is to provide areas for outlying residential development on lots of sufficient size to accommodate the safe and healthful on-site water supply and liquid wastewater disposal, since the areas will likely remain unserved by public water/sewer services for an extended period of time. It is also the purpose of this district to protect and stabilize the essential rural character of these areas in order to promote and encourage suitable environments for rural residential dwellings until such time as it may be in the public interest to promote development of greater intensity requiring higher levels of public services and utilities.
