Developed Land
| Exeter only has 104 acres, or
.004%, dedicated to commercial and industrial uses.
No significant increase has occurred in twenty years.
The rest of the developed land is residential (2007
acres, or 5.4%), agricultural (2,760 acres, or 7.4%),
or recreational/open space (7000 acres, or 19%).
The town's Comprehensive Plan states that present
commercial and industrial development is "unattractive
and detracts from the image of the town." The
Plan discouraged strip development and since then,
the Land Development and Subdivision Regulations
have been changed to not provide means for strip
development to occur. |

Development location and restrictions
are defined in the town's Zoning and Subdivision regulations
which are available for a fee at the town
clerk's office in Exeter, RI. For more information
about zoning, click here.
While providing for future economic
development in Exeter, town officials have striven to
continue to preserve the character of their town. For
example, all developments must dedicate 3% of the development
parcel to open space.
