Rural Residential (RR). The purpose of the RR District is to complement the rural character and agriculture preservation goals of the Town of Manchester Comprehensive Plan by allowing for low-density residential development opportunities. RR District areas should be strategically located where the conditions of the environment, availability of utilities, and surrounding land use patterns dictate that residential densities and the amount of land covered by impervious surfaces remain low. Generally, development shall be directed where public water, but not necessarily public sewer, exists or is expected. Provisions should also be made for clustering building sites where environmental conditions permit and where the clustering of units can preserve the rural character of Manchester's countryside.

Hamlet Residential (HR). The purpose of the HR District is to implement the vision and development goals contained in the Town of Manchester Comprehensive Plan for the Hamlet of Port Gibson. Although the Hamlet is not urban in a traditional city sense, it provides a denser living environment than found elsewhere in the Town.

The Hamlet was established in a quasi-grid settlement pattern providing a walkable, connected environment. The highest density of development is located along the Erie Canal and at the center of the Hamlet. The intent of the HR District is to encourage investment and stability in Port Gibson's neighborhoods, while accommodating growth opportunities that respect its existing historic character and the rural areas surrounding the Hamlet.
