These are primarily agricultural areas and located outside of existing & future sewer service areas. Yes No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare. REASONING: The requested zoning to RA-30 would maintain the public health, safety and general welfare due to the existing residential uses within the area.
