17.23.010 Purpose.
A. The purpose of the RR rural ranchette district is to provide for low density areas for single-family dwellings. Such a low density district is particularly intended to permit a reduction in streets, public utilities and related public services not possible in higher density residential areas. Included are those areas which may be but not necessarily vulnerable to the encroachment of higher residential densities and urban services. The RR rural ranchette district is to be applied to those areas of the county which will allow a ranch like life-style for pleasure, but not as a main source of income. This zoning district is to be a rural residential area which allows livestock. The adoption of this zoning district shall repeal and supersede the following zoning designations:
