Rural district rules tightened: minimum parcel sizes set for intense uses

Sep 4, 2024

Staff proposed minimum parcel sizes for intense uses in the rural RL district (70 acres for large event centers, RV parks, motion‑picture facilities and similar uses; 10 acres for country inns and some educational uses) and updated language replacing 'gas station' with 'fueling station'.

The full story

Section 7 of the draft code sets minimum parcel sizes and revises supplemental use requirements in the rural RL district. Staff described a 70‑acre minimum for higher‑intensity uses (large event centers, RV or campground, motion‑picture or sound facilities, and air transportation) and a 10‑acre minimum for country inns and colleges/universities; those thresholds act as starting points for discretionary special‑use permit review.
