R-1A
Single-Family Residential District
R-1A Single-Family Residential Districts are established to provide for low density residential development (although allowing a greater density of development than that allowed in R-1AAA Single-Family Residential District). The R-1A districts differ in the density of development allowed by varying the lot area and width and the yard size requirements. Duplexes and other uses designed to serve governmental, educational, religious, recreational, and other immediate needs of this district are allowed as conditional uses, subject to those requirements which provide for the protection of the single-family, low density, residential character of the district.
