R1
Single-Family Residential Use District
The intent of the R-1 Single-Family Residential Use District is to delineate areas where predominantly single-family detached, low-density residential development has occurred or is desired and likely to occur in the future and to protect the integrity of these residential areas by encouraging diversity in dwelling styles and construction which preserves existing land features and neighborhood scale. The R-1 district will prohibit the intrusion of any use which is not compatible with this predominant type and intensity as well as clear cutting of trees on the lot or major alteration of existing topography. The R-1 District recognizes the value of such other permissible uses as churches, schools, libraries and other educational buildings, and playgrounds.
