6.4 RL VERy LOW DENSITY SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT:
A. Purpose and Intent: The purpose of this District is to allow low density residential
development within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area while minimizing negative
environmental impacts on areas with greatest physical amenities (rolling topography, forest,
wildlife habitat, water bodies). Single-Family Detached Dwelling Cluster Development will
be encouraged as a tool to protect unique physical features and restrict development to the
most suitable locations. The twenty thousand (20,000) square foot minimum lot size will
accommodate larger homes than the R-1 (10,000 square foot minimum lot size) District, will
rnandate increased structure separation and will allow for more selective siting of homes.
The lower maximum density of one dwelling unit per acre will result in preservation of
natural amenities within the context of providin�urban services.
