Chapter 18.28
RR-2 RURAL RESOURCE DISTRICT
Sections:
18.28.060 Development standards.
18.28.070 Performance standards.
18.28.010 Purpose.
The purpose of the RR-2 rural resource district is to provide an area for low density, rural residential lifestyles that require only rural levels of service for utilities and infrastructure. This district may accommodate some agricultural activities, however the more intensive agricultural support activities, such as large-scale warehousing and/or processing or packaging facilities would not be allowed due to the potential for inclusion into an urban growth area at a future date. Clustering of residential lots will be permitted. If encompassed in the future within an urban growth area, the lands in reserve parcels may be available for further development depending on the nature of the open space designations, critical areas and other similar factors. Typically, domestic water will be obtained through individual wells and sewage disposal will be on-site, but occasionally public water supplies may be available. (Ord. TLS 03-01-01B Exh.
