R-1
Single-Family Residential District
The intent of establishing an R-1 Single-Family Residential District is to delimit certain areas for the construction of new housing of a more spacious and substantial nature and to ensure that high environmental standards are encouraged and maintained. The R-1 Single-Family Residential District provides for the lowest density development within the city.
