The agricultural, rural fringe development, and RS -1, single- family districts, are established to implement the polices of the Indian River County Comprehensive plan for managing land that is not part of the designated Urban Service Area of the county, as well as land within the urban service area which warrants a very low density designation, by providing areas suitable for agriculture, silviculture, and the conservation and management of open space, vegetative cover, natural systems, aquifer recharge areas, wildlife areas and scenic areas. These districts are also intended to provide opportunities for residential uses at very low densities to promote housing opportunities in the county. These districts are further intended to permit activities which require non- urban locations and do not detrimentally impact lands devoted to rural and agricultural activities. Finally, the RFD, and RS -1 districts are intended to buffer active agricultural areas from urbanization.
