Section 5 -1 Intent <br />The district development standards of this Zoning Ordinance establish lot sizes and certain restrictions <br />for residential and nonresidential development. These standards allow for variety in housing types while <br />maintaining the overall character of neighborhoods and commercial areas of the County. Development <br />standards are based on the County's suburban and rural planning tiers. Separate standards are <br />established to regulate development in each residential district. This approach to district development <br />standards and planning tiers has several public benefits: <br />1. It allows for development that is more sensitive to the environment and allows for the <br />preservation of open and natural areas. <br />2. It promotes quality site layout and energy- efficient development. <br />3. It promotes affordable and life -cycle housing. <br />4. It promotes development intensities that match existing and proposed infrastructure <br />investments. <br />Section 5 -2 How to use this Chapter <br />This Chapter is divided into the following parts: <br />PART I.
