For reference the <br />Rural designation includes: existing subdivisions in the State Land Use Agricultural and <br />Rural Districts that have a significant residential component.

Allowable uses <br />within these areas, with appropriate zoning, may include commercial facilities that serve <br />the residential and agricultural uses in the area, and community and public facilities.
