The purpose of the T Transitional District is to protect a country type lifestyle while the area is transitioning from agricultural to urban type uses. The uses protected are gardening, family recreation and the keeping of a limited number of livestock and poultry. Lots must be large enough to offer a country lifestyle without imposing upon neighboring properties. The minimum lot size is two and one-half (21/2) acres and should be planned in such a manner to allow other lots to be incorporated as density increases into A and B Residential. Building location must be such that water and sewer facilities can be easily installed to provide access to each lot, without affecting surrounding properties adversely. (Ord. 1204, 2002)

The following are allowed in the T Transitional District:

Accessory uses to any uses permitted in the district.
