R-1
Single-Family Residential Districts
These districts are composed of both developed and largely undeveloped areas. The developed areas contain mainly one-family dwellings and small open areas, usually subdivided, where residential development seems likely to occur; few two-family and multiple-family dwellings are found in these developed areas. It is anticipated that most of the large undeveloped areas will ultimately be developed for residential use. The district regulations are designed to protect the residential character of the developed areas by prohibiting commercial activities and encouraging a suitable neighborhood environment for family life.
