RA-3
Single-Family District
It is the intent of the single-family districts to provide for single-family detached residential development at a variety of densities and lot sizes that are consistent with the existing and desirable future pattern of development in the city. Provision is made for a variety of residential densities in order to accommodate different residential preferences.; The use restrictions protect single-family detached residential development from the encroachment of incompatible land uses. At the same time, provision is made for a limited number of appropriate non-residential uses which may be established for the convenience of residents while still preserving the overall residential character of the districts.
Directions: From Downtown Lakeland: Head east on Main Street toward Lake Mirror. Continue straight to stay on Main Street as it becomes E Main St/US-92 E. Turn right onto Lake Parker Avenue. Continue for about 1.5 miles, then turn left onto E Elm Road. Drive about 0.3 miles — 1712 E Elm Rd will be on your right. (Approximate drive time: 6–8 minutes, depending on traffic.)
