The Rural Residential Overlay District is composed of certain quite, low-density, residential appeal with a rural character, plus certain open areas where similar residential development appears likely to occur. The regulations for this district are designed to stabilize and protect the essential characteristics of the district, to promote and encourage a suitable environment for family life, to provide for an orderly transition from predominately agricultural uses to mostly rural residential uses, and to strictly limit activities of a commercial nature. To these ends, development is limited to relatively low densities and permitted uses are limited basically to single-family dwellings for the residents, home-occupation uses for compatible home-based businesses, as well as certain additional institutional uses such as schools, parks and churches that serve the residents of the district.
