17.95.010 Purpose.

Rural residential centers are areas in rural Lewis County which historically had development and facilities at densities and intensities greater than rural development, but outside of urban growth areas and authorized in accordance with RCW 36.70A.070(5)(d)(i). The zones are necessarily limited to areas of existing development or development impact and defined by logical boundaries and service areas. This chapter provides guidelines for residential development in rural residential centers and shoreline-related development in designated shoreline areas to assure infilling consistent with surrounding uses and the existing public facilities and character of the area.
