RB
Single Family Residential District
The single family districts provide for a limited range of housing densities consistent with the Village's established residential neighborhoods. The R-A District allows for lower density residential use and larger lot sizes. The R-B and R-C Districts allow for somewhat higher density residential use and smaller lot sizes.
