A. 
Residential District (RD)
The Residential District (RD) is intended to provide for residential development in proximity to the Town Centers of Prince Frederick, Solomons, Lusby, North Beach, and Chesapeake Beach. This district allows for higher residential densities in proximity to Town Centers through the purchase of Transferable Development Rights (TDRs). However, the ability to achieve maximum permitted density is dependent, in part, on the availability of sewerage service. This district also recognizes existing agriculture and accommodates agricultural uses. To avoid drawing commercial activity away from Town Centers, commercial uses are limited in this district.
Article 18 and Table 18-1 of this Ordinance list allowed principal, accessory, and temporary uses in the Residential District.
Table 6-1: Residential District Minimum Standards establishes the permissible density, lot area, lot width, and setbacks for the Residential District. See Article 2 of this Ordinance for related definitions and measurement standards. Single-family attached developments shall meet the minimum standards of Section 25-3 of this Ordinance.
