Residential Estate (“RE”). The RE zoning district serves two purposes. First, it is intended to provide for and preserve the estate residential character of certain rural areas where the predominant use of private land is very low density residential development. Second, in conjunction with the provisions of Sec. 6.1.3.1, General Exception for Residential and Agricultural Buildings and Structures and Sec. 6.1.5.7, Nonconforming Lots, to protect the single-unit detached residential character of existing subdivisions and small or narrow lots within the County.
Residential Rural (“RR”). The RR zoning district is intended to provided for and preserve rural residential character of certain rural areas where the predominant use of private land is very low density residential development, and development is constrained by limited transportation networks, water supply limitations, and relatively high risks from natural hazards.
HOW WOULD THIS NEW ZONING AFFECT EXISTING PROPERTY OWNERS?
1. The Property is "Grandfathered"
1. The Property is "Grandfathered"
Because existing lots were legally established before the new zoning rules took effect, they are protected as a legal nonconforming lot. This grandfathered status belongs to the property itself, not the owner—meaning the protection automatically transfers to any new buyer.
2. Current Use is 100% Legal
2. Current Use is 100% Legal
The new zoning will not affect the existing property or how you legally use it today. You are completely in the clear to keep enjoying the property exactly as it is.
3. When Does the New Code Matter?
3. When Does the New Code Matter?
The new rules will not come into play UNTIL or UNLESS you decide to make a major change in the future.
If you leave things as they are: The new rules do not apply to you.
If you decide to build or change things: Any new structures, major additions, or subdivisions you want to do down the road must conform to the new code. Remember that the new code is being designed to make these things easier and more streamlined in the future. We will see!
