Single-Family Dwelling District
These Single-Family Zoning Districts are intended to provide an environment of single-family detached dwellings, along with other related facilities that serve the residents in the district such as schools, recreational facilities, parks, and religious assembly. These districts should be convenient to commercial facilities in other zoning districts and to public transportation.; These districts are intended to encourage the preservation and continuation of the longstanding residential fabric in existing neighborhoods of predominantly single-family dwellings, along with other related facilities that serve the residents in these districts.; Accessory dwelling units are allowed to enable a new housing prototype that respects the look and character of single-family neighborhoods while: supporting more efficient use of existing housing stock and infrastructure; providing housing that responds to changing family needs, smaller households, and increasing housing costs; providing accessible housing for seniors and persons with disabilities; and supporting affordable housing goals.
