Single-Family Residence Districts
The Single-Family Residence Districts, as differentiated herein, and the district locations as depicted on the Zone District Map, reflect the wide variety of physical and social characteristics found in Waterloo, to the extent that the range of such conditions and characteristics can be divided into meaningful categories.
