Zoning
RE
Residential Estate District
The purpose of this district is to promote a residential environment typified by larger lot single-family detached dwellings of an individual design. The minimum lot size within a development or area shall be stipulated by a minimum lot size suffix that will be established for each RE District. These low-density lots shall be grouped and be of such a number so as to form an identifiable neighborhood and image. Agricultural uses shall be allowed as permitted in the applicable use matrix. Developments within this density range may lend themselves to development with septic systems. However, all developments on septic systems shall be fitted with dry sewers to allow connection to the Citywide sanitary system when it becomes available. Septic systems shall only be allowed for developments located in areas that have soils and unit densities suitable for septic systems. Areas with poor soils for septic systems and no available sewers shall not be developed until such time that adequate sanitary sewers for the development are secured.
Permitted uses

Housing-Single unit
