Single-Family Residential District
Rockfords residential zoning districts are intended to create, maintain, and promote a variety of housing opportunities for individual households and to maintain the desired physical character of existing neighborhoods and developing areas consistent with the citys official comprehensive plan. These regulations are intended to ensure that permitted and special uses are compatible within each district. They are intended to maintain and protect residential property values and to promote the peace quiet and enjoyment of the citys residential areas by requiring setbacks and open spaces on the same lot as the residential development. While these districts primarily accommodate residential use types some nonresidential use types are also allowed.
