[Ord. 8-14-1995, § 400;
as amended by Ord. 00-12-02, 12/20/2000, § 7]
a. The purpose of the Conservation and Recreation District is to protect
environmentally sensitive areas and areas of scenic beauty such as
Lake Galena, which serves both as a major recreational and environmental
facility. Lake Galena also is an important water supply facility.
Low-density development and the protection of riparian buffers help
maintain water quality as well as supply. Low intensity residential
development, which will encourage the preservation of open space and
agricultural soils, is permitted. Transferable development rights
and low-density development are intended to preserve and protect farmland
and farming activities within the district.
b. Within the CR Conservation and Recreation District, a building may
be erected, altered or used and a lot or premises may be used only
when in conformance with the conditions of this chapter and the specific
use, area and design regulations of this district.
