Zoning Commission on June 20, 2007: the Commission adopted the following findings in
support of its recommendation. The RR2 -Rural Residential Two Zone is consistent with the

development is in favor of rural residential use, and residential development consistent with
the RR2 -Rural Residential Two classifications would not unduly burden existing public
infrastructure.
