Single-Family Residential-Existing Small Lots District

The purpose and intent of the RSL single-family-existing small lots district shall be for bringing predominantly single-family neighborhoods existing at the time of adoption of these regulations, which are (a) zoned for multifamily uses, or (b) zoned RS-1 but in which the majority of the home sites are on legally nonconforming substandard lots of record, into legally conforming status while protecting the character of the neighborhood as a single-family residential area and providing low- to medium-density neighborhoods for single-family detached dwelling units on individual lots where the predominant existing development consists of single-family residences on parcels of land less than 60 feet in width in separate ownership from adjacent parcels, and which were subdivided into lots smaller than the minimum required RS-1 lot size prior to the adoption of this land use regulations ordinance. From this point forward, no new RSL districts will be created. In general the maximum density in RSL districts shall be in accordance with the predominant density of the existing development in the area.
