According to the Lincoln County Planning Director, there is one parcel with this zoning that can outright support a multi-unit apartment-type development due to its connectivity with public sewer. All other R-4-zoned parcels would be expected to be single-unit developments or subdivisible as permitted in (3)(a)(C) and (D).
