"The Rural Residential Management Zone is mostly single-family residential
on large lots in a low-density rural environment, with little or no
commercial development. Most of the district is wooded, with scattered
residential structures. Residential lawns are limited near the river's
shore, and the shore area is primarily natural in appearance."]
