0 The Countryside Residential district emphasizes a strong rural, pastoral feel. Natural environmental elements should be retained if at all possible. In these areas density will be kept very low. Development will include standard single family detached dwellings, other more intense forms of residential settlement such as townhouses are permitted as long as site sensitive design occurs. Cluster development standards are required. 0 The Low-Density Residential district is primarily residential in nature with little or no likelihood of public utilities within a twenty-year horizon. The minimum Lot Size is One (1) Acre, 1/2 acre if public water and sewer are available. Although the district is primarily residential in nature, there are a variety of non-residential uses that are permitted. 0 The Medium Density Residential district is intended to permit development with a moderately high-density community character. This is the zoning district primarily designed for both existing and future conventional subdivision type development.
