One dwelling unit per acre.•Residential‐4 (R‐4) Zone – Land that is suitable for housing with large lots, compatible with the scale and density of the surrounding area. Four dwelling units per acre.Zoning Policy
•RMC 4‐2‐020•RC‐Very low‐density residential zone, some residential use of land with extensive critical areas, promotes uses compatible with critical areas. It also provides separation between areas of more intense urban uses and critical lands or agricultural uses•R‐1–Provides for residential development of land with pervasive critical areas where limited residential development will not compromise critical areas. Allows large lot and clustered single family dwellings•R‐4‐Promotes urban single family neighborhoods serviceable by urban utilities and containing open space amenities. Serves as a transition between rural zones and higher density residential zones. It is an intermediate lower density residential zoneZoning Intent
