18 RE RESIDENTIAL ESTATES DISTRICTS
§ 18.18.010 Purpose of district.

The range of density classes indicated for the RE districts is intended to permit the implementation of the density recommendations of the Wheatland General Plan Land Use Map, and to permit harmonious development of estate districts of different density characteristics.
