R1
Single-Family Residence District
The R-1 Single-Family Residence District is intended to provide for estate-type single-family residential development on lot sizes adequate to allow individual wells and sewage disposal systems. This district is intended to create an environment that allows a mixture of agricultural uses and homes on lots larger than typical urban-type residential areas. The permitted uses, lot areas, setbacks and other requirements are designed to encourage a quality residential area in a rural setting. This district is located where rural-type development presently exists and where similar residential development appears likely in the future. All commercial activities are prohibited, except for selected recreation and sanitary uses.
