A second residence is allowed under the same criteria. This exception applies regardless of minimum lot size restrictions that otherwise apply and prevent building of residence(s). Measure maintains all property line setback, building height, and waste disposal restrictions, but the measure supersedes all contrary, pre-existing land use regulations. Other provisions.
