The main objective and intent of this zone is to provide areas that are more rural in character than is practical in more high-density urban centers while at the same time maintaining a suitable living environment for low-density single-family residential use. A related purpose is to utilize certain areas for single-family residential uses where limited density is required due to difficult slopes, soil conditions and drainage capacities. This may in some cases be utilized as an interim development area where higher density may be anticipated in the future, when specific development plans are submitted for review by the Hearings Examiner.
