RS
Residential Single-Family District
The purpose of this district is to encourage residential neighborhoods of exclusively single-family detached dwellings with a wide range of lot sizes. Any development must have an overall density from 1.1 to 6.0 du per acre. Minimum lot sizes may be established for each RS District through the use of a minimum lot size suffix. This land use zone is also intended to facilitate pedestrian access to schools, churches, parks, and neighborhood convenience shopping.
