Single-Family Residential District
The single-family residential zoning district (R-1) provides for low density, detached single-family residential land use. Densities are based on existing development and are meant to be protected and preserved. Development standards reflect the scale, character, and intensity of existing neighborhoods.; The single-family residential zoning district is a very low to low density residential district with three different minimum lot sizes ranging from one dwelling unit per 6,000 sq ft of land area (lot size) to one dwelling unit per 20,000 sq ft of land area (lot size), depending on the environmental constraints and neighborhood character.
