Single-Family Detached District
The Comprehensive Plan calls for the development of low density residential areas within the city. One of the main forms of low density residential development is the individual single-family home on its own lot. The Single-Family Detached District provides for the development and protection of this type of development. A variety of different lot sizes and housing forms are appropriate in this district depending on its location within the community and its relationship to adjacent areas. Specific lot configurations and architectural styles within this district shall be determined through the platting process and the development permit review process.
