Rural Very Low Density District

This district allows a residential density of up to 0.2 dwellings per acre. The minimum lot size for single-household detached dwellings is 200,000 sq ft. The primary purpose of this district is to provide protection to sensitive environmental resources, such as groundwater reservoirs and recharge areas, immediately adjacent thereto; and coastal pond watersheds. It provides a residential density low enough to discourage the conversion of open lands and farmlands to more intensive use, while still allowing reasonable economic use of the land. It also includes privately-owned open spaces, freshwater wetlands, coastal features such as beaches and salt marshes, and farmlands. Public water service may be provided, but public sewers are discouraged in favor of waste water management districts and water conservation practices. This district also includes open space, conservation lands and land unsuitable for development. Portions of this district are within the High Flood Danger HFD Overlay District.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Livestock production
