The “RR-IB” One Family Rural Residential District is intended to provide a district which will allow a combination of low density residential development and limited agricultural activity.” Although golf courses arc a conditional use permit in this district, the use of a residential road such as Woodhill Avenue for commercial pu.T>o5cs as proposed by the Club obviously does not fit with low density residential uses or agricultural use.
