17.20.010 Purpose of provisions.
   A.   The purpose of the Urban Ranch Residential (UR) Zone is to provide principally for the development of single family detached dwelling units at very low densities and to provide for the establishment and/or maintenance of a wide range of agricultural uses. The primary purpose of requiring larger minimum lot sizes is to assure an adequate area for the very low density residential lifestyles that currently exist within the city limits, and to continue to allow for the various forms of agricultural activities for indefinite periods of time.
   B.   This zone shall be applied to those city areas which are not only generally rural in character, but also those areas which may undergo more intensive development. In which case, the same zoning district shall be considered as a “holding” classification.
