1. Purpose. The RR district provides for the rural residential use of land, accommodating agriculture and very low density residential environments. It is designed for permanent development of relatively remote areas that are beyond the reach of Denison’s foreseeable urban development pattern, making eventual extension of urban services extremely unlikely. Subdivisions in RR districts generally will be developed to rural standards, with gravel roads, surface drainage, and individual water and wastewater management systems. In parts of the Denison jurisdiction with distinctive landforms, conservation development design is required to maintain the character of the land. These areas are designated by the RC Rural Conservation Overlay District and are subject to special standards and planning procedures set forth in Section 167.33 of this chapter. These standards encourage the preservation of important open space resources without reducing the density permitted the developer or property owner.
