Title 18 - Unified Development Ordinance

18.174.010 Statement of Intent

The zoning of property as RP-OE, Planned Open Space Estate Residential District, is intended to provide for the development of very low-density residential development in newly developing areas, where adequate public facilities and infrastructure are available or will be available in the near future, and where greater flexibility is needed to allow for the preservation of natural features, such as riparian areas, flood plain, wetlands, and areas with steep slopes. Flexibility from the traditional residential estate large-lot standards (RE, Residential Estate District) is offered to allow for creative subdivision design, while maintaining a very low-density character and an opportunity to preserve open space. Property zoned RP-OE shall be provided with public sanitary sewers prior to, or concurrent with, development.
