Chapter 17.22 — RR-2 MEDIUM DENSITY RURAL RESIDENTIAL ZONE — Holtville Zoning Code

§ 17.22.010. Intent. ¶

The RR-2 medium density rural residential zone is intended for rural areas adjacent to the developed land in the city where the land use patterns are in a state of transition from agricultural to urban uses. This zone provides for the development of "rural atmosphere" type land uses that allow for half-acre to five-acre lot sizes developed for principally residential uses. This zone would allow limited agricultural operations and would allow limited numbers of small and large animals, depending on the lot size.
