Residential District

These districts are established within the city to provide areas for single-family dwellings and necessary accessory buildings. The regulations enumerated for this district are designed to encourage and promote the construction of and the continued use of the land for single-family dwellings, to promote and encourage a suitable environment for family life, to prohibit uses of the land which would substantially interfere with development or continuation of single-family dwellings in the districts, and to prevent use of the land for purposes which would overburden the public facilities. For lakefront properties, the regulations enumerated in this section are designed to encourage and promote the construction of residential uses in a manner which minimizes the impacts on the lakes, which are among the city's greatest assets; thus, diminishing their water quality and aesthetic appeal. Permitted as conditional uses within these districts will be certain structures and uses required to serve the residents such as public schools, churches and noncommercial recreational uses. Areas zoned for R-1AAA districts shall be those existing low-density residential areas plus certain undeveloped areas which should develop in a similar manner according to the comprehensive plan.
