The purpose of the Conservation and Recreation District is to protect environmentally sensitive areas and areas of scenic beauty such as Lake Galena, which serves both as a major recreational and environmental facility. Lake Galena also is an important water supply facility. Low-density development and the protection of riparian buffers help maintain water quality as well as supply. Low intensity residential development, which will encourage the preservation of open space and agricultural soils, is permitted. Transferable development rights and low-density development are intended to preserve and protect farmland and farming activities within the district.

Within the CR Conservation and Recreation District, a building may be erected, altered or used and a lot or premises may be used only when in conformance with the conditions of this chapter and the specific use, area and design regulations of this district.
