The RS-30, Residential District is primarily intended to
accommodate single-family detached dwellings in areas
without access to public water and sewer services. The
minimum lot size of this district is 30,000 square feet. Cluster
development (conservation subdivisions) are permitted.
The CZ, Conditional Zoning District is established as a
companion district for every district established in the Unified
Development Ordinance. These districts are CZ-AG,
CZ-RS-40, CZ-RS-30, CZ-RS-20, CZ-RS-3, CZ-RS-5,
CZ-RS-7, CZ-RM-8, CZ-RM-18, CZ-RM-26, CZ-LO, CZ-NB,
CZ-LB, CZ-MXU, CZ-GB, CZ-HB, CZ-CP, CZ-LI, CZ-HI,
CZ-PI, CZ-RPD, CZ-PD-R, and CZ-PD-M. All regulations
which apply to a general use zoning district also apply to the
companion conditional zoning. All other regulations, which
may be offered by the property owner and approved by the
Jurisdiction as part of the rezoning process, also shall apply.
Consistency with Adopted Plans: The amended rezoning
request from Agricultural (AG) to conditional zoning
Residential (CZ-RS-30) is inconsistent with the
Comprehensive Plan’s FLUM recommendation of Working
Farm/Agricultural. This land use classification is intended to
accommodate land that is actively used for agricultural or
forestry activities, including cultivated farmland, livestock,
woodlands, or timber harvest. The lands may or may not
support the primary residence of the property owner and
outbuildings associated with activities on the property.
Working Farms/Agricultural Lands may contain both
residential and non-residential uses and typically have parcel
sizes that are typically larger than five or ten acres.
If the rezoning request from AG to CZ-RS-30 is denied, a
FLUM amendment from Working Farm/Agricultural to
Residential would not be required. If the request is approved,
a FLUM amendment to the Residential land use classification
would be required.
