Single-Family Residential District

This district is composed of certain areas having a single-family residential character and undeveloped land where it is desirable and likely that similar development will occur. This district will be characterized by medium density residential development. The specific purpose of this district is to: Encourage the construction and continued use of the land for single-family dwellings; Prohibit business, commercial or industrial use of the land, and to prohibit any other use which would substantially interfere with development or maintenance of single-family dwellings in the district; Encourage the discontinuance of existing uses that would not be permitted as new uses under the provisions of these regulations; Discourage any land use that would generate traffic on minor or local streets, other than normal traffic to serve residences on those streets; Discourage any use which, because of its size or character would create requirements and costs for public services such as fire and police protection, water supply and sewerage substantially in excess of such requirements and costs if the district were developed solely for residential purposes.
