Rural Rural Webster’s New World Dictionary (Third College Edition) defines “rural” as “of or characteristic of the country, country life, or country people; rustic”, also, “living in the country ”, and “having to do with farming; agricultural”. The derivation of the word has its root in the Latin rus (gen. r uris ), meaning “the country” and in the Indo -European base rewos , meaning “to open, Room”.

Rural Rural The meaning of “rural” conveys physical and visual attributes such as working farms, with large tracts of open, undeveloped land, and retaining a mostly open appearance. The viewscape is protected, with a landscape dominated by farm fields, open pasture and cropland, scenic mountains and ridges, and large tracts of woodland with a diversity of native and natural vegetation. Large tracts of undeveloped land remain available for rural recreation. Residential development does not dominate the landscape , nor is the primary or principal pattern of land use: there is a lack of congestion, “country roads” are adequate, with clean air, clean rivers and streams, clean edges to villages and towns , and dark skies. Suburban development patterns are not present , but rather, low density residential development persists , enabling continued agricultural activity. Historic sites and landmarks are preserved. Service areas, with public water and sewer available, are compact yet retaining the small town atmosphere and confined to designated growth areas, in and around the existing towns, and where cooperative planning between the towns and county ensures the preservation of open space in the unincorporated areas. Local businesses and commercial development are in balance with the community. Taxation policy promotes agriculture and open space.
