§ 18.12.010 Establishment.

(Prior code § 9205.03)
§ 18.12.020 Intent and purpose.
The intent and purpose of the R-E zone is to principally designate, classify and distinguish certain residential areas within the city that may best facilitate the development and use of single-family homes on large acreage parcels of land in conjunction with only the private use and maintenance of limited agricultural and animal husbandry activities.

§ 18.12.030 Applicability-Criteria.
A.
The R-E zone is a land use classification which, in part, assists in the implementation of the residential land use, housing and environmental elements of the general plan. It is a zone classification designed to be applied on selective areas of the community where a rural character and atmosphere can be maintained and preserved in an urban setting.
B.
Application of the R-E zone must be clearly defined within the scope and purpose of qualifying land for a rural function, and must be protected from the encroachment of land uses and development that do not exhibit or possess those characteristics of a rural nature.
