The residential district names and map symbols are intended to provide a general indication of what is allowed in the district by denoting the residential densities (low, medium or multifamily).
A. 
Rural Residential (RR). The purpose of the RR District is to implement the rural designation of the Comprehensive Plan by encouraging large-lot residential development in areas where conditions of the environment, availability of utilities, and surrounding land use patterns dictate that residential densities and the amount of land covered by impervious surfaces remain low. Generally, development shall be directed where public water, but not necessarily public sewer, exists or is expected. Provisions should also be made for clustering building sites where environmental conditions permit and where the clustering of units can preserve the rural character of the countryside.
B. 
Low Density Residential (LDR). The purpose of the LDR District is to support the goals and policies contained in the Comprehensive Plan while providing areas within the Town for low-density, single-family development. The intended pattern of development in this district shall allow for the development of residential neighborhoods on smaller lot sizes than permitted within the Rural Residential District, while still preserving surrounding open space. The LDR District also provides for other specified uses that are compatible with the primary residential nature of the district.
C. 
Lakeshore Residential (LR). The purpose of the LR District is to support the Town's Comprehensive Plan and protect the lake's water and shorelines by providing for safe and orderly shoreline development. The development pattern of the lakeshore is intended to allow for seasonal housing opportunities, while also promoting year-round occupancy by including provision for both cottage-style and single-family homes. In addition other residential, recreational, conservancy, and a limited number of commercial uses may be permitted that would be compatible with the residential character of the lakeshore neighborhoods.
D. 
Highway Residential (HR). The purpose of the HR District is to support the Town's Comprehensive Plan, while permitting the development of large-lot, single-family homes along the Route 20A corridor from Country Club Road to West Lake Road. Development should occur on lots with significant frontage to manage access points along the highway in a manner that preserves the safety, efficiency, development potential, and character of the corridor. Potential uses should be compatible with the existing rural nature of the highway corridor, and should assure that driveways and street connections are adequately spaced as well as designed according to standards for safe entry and exit.
