The purpose of this division is to establish the basic land use requirements and concepts needed to implement state and local goals, rules and policies regarding the planning and zoning of unincorporated communities. This chapter shall define the intent, purpose and basic requirements that apply to all unincorporated communities. It is understood that unincorporated communities will be required to adopt specific zoning and development schemes as may be needed to fully implement each community's unique plan. Individual community plans are implemented in the following chapters of this division.
(2005 RLDC § 100.010)
The following basic unincorporated community zones are established:
ZONE
MAP SYMBOL
Community Residential
CR
Community Commercial
CC
Community Tourist Commercial
CTC
Community Commercial Center
CCC
Community Light Industrial
CLI
Community Industrial
CI
Individual unincorporated community plans may implement different zones and lists of uses within them, to include different standards of development and review procedures as long as the uses, standards and procedures are consistent with applicable state and local requirements for unincorporated rural communities. In all cases, the zone or subzone names shall contain the word "community," and the map symbols shall not duplicate symbols for existing rural zones.
(2005 RLDC § 100.020)
The flood hazard overlay (Chapter 19.69A JCC), the deer overlay (Chapter 19.69B JCC), the wild and scenic rivers overlay (Chapter 19.69C JCC), the airport overlay (Chapter 19.69D JCC), the water hazard overlay (Chapter 19.69E JCC) and the mineral and aggregate overlay (Chapters 19.69F and 19.91 JCC) shall apply within unincorporated rural communities to the extent they are now or hereafter officially mapped within the respective unincorporated rural communities. Other zoning overlay requirements may be created within unincorporated rural communities as needed to support individual plans.
(2005 RLDC § 100.030)
