Residential Single-Family District

The R-1 Residential Single-Family district provides for development of standard low-density residential developments in areas where adequate public facilities and services exist, and residential development is appropriate given the surrounding land uses and neighborhood. Property zoned R-1 should be provided with public sanitary sewers, or suitable alternatives, prior to development. This district gives applicants the option to build low- to medium-density single-family neighborhoods, or a higher-density community that has street-oriented architecture or conservation design. R-1 is consistent with the Conventional Residential and Conservation/Cluster Neighborhoods future land use categories, and implements the following Comprehensive Plan policies: LUCC-3.3: Allow for a variety of home types and lot sizes.; HN-1.4: Minimize spillover impacts from adjacent commercial areas and incremental expansion of business activities into residential areas.; LUCC-8.2: Use zoning as a tool to avoid or minimize conflicts between land uses.; HN-2.1, HN-2.5, HN-4.1, and HN-4.2: Provide a full range of housing choices, affordable housing, and neighborhoods that enable residents to age in place.
