Commission backs changing rural‑ag density language to allow flexibility
Commissioners agreed to change the rural agricultural residential (RAR) density wording to express density in dwelling units rather than building types, a move staff said will make it easier to calculate options for duplexes, fourplexes and PUDs while leaving overall density calculations intact.
