The Rural Buffer was defined in the Joint Planning Agreement as being a low-density area consisting of single-family homes situated on large lots having a minimum size of two (2) acres. The Rural Buffer was 111 further defined as land which, although adjacent to an Urban or Transition Area, was rural in character and which would remain rural, contain low-density residential uses, and not require urban services (public utilities and other Town services). The Rural Buffer consisted of the following Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan categories: Rural Residential; Agricultural ; Public/Private Open Space; Resource Conservation; Extractive/Disposal Use; and the overlay district designated Water Quality Critical Area.
