This district is the primary residential district to meet very specific needs that are compatible with the rural nature of the county. The district is intended to provide for well planned residential communities in naturally attractive areas, while avoiding suburbanization or competition with incorporated cities and villages.
A. Development Forms: This district is intended to accommodate new master planned residential communities in rural unincorporated areas. It is intended for future development as, upon adoption, no areas are zoned this category. Where land is outside the urban service boundary of a city or village, and the county desires to protect the rural area from further annexation, it may zone the area as planned residential with a planned development approval for a conservation development.
B. Uses: This district is intended to allow specialized residential development in a limited and controlled fashion.
C. Infrastructure: Single-family sites may be served by on site wells and septic systems or by public utilities depending on the lot size and configurations of development.
D. Master Plan Required: In accordance with 55 Illinois Compiled Statutes 5/5-12009.5(a), developments in this district shall be designated as special uses, and approval will require submittal and issuance of a special use permit and master plan acceptance at the time of rezoning.
