The specific purpose of the “Agricultural/Rural/Conservation” Districts is to preserve agricultural and resource conservation areas while providing opportunities for rural living.

Additional purposes of each “Agriculture/Rural/Conservation” District:

AC Agricultural/Conservation. To preserve agricultural and resource conservation areas. Incidental residential uses with septic systems are allowed. Industrial gravel and aggregate mining are allowed in areas classified by the State as Mineral Resource Zones. Clustered development is encouraged.

RR Rural Residential. To provide opportunities for rural living on 2.5 acre or larger lots. This district serves as a transition between agriculture/open space and more intensive urban uses and helps define the limits of urban development. Clustered development is encouraged, and smaller lots may be allowed, provided that the overall density does not exceed 0.2 units per acre, with lower limits applying in the Hillside Development Zone.
