SD-9
Suburban Farm Residential District
The R-1C suburban farm residential district is intended to provide for single-family dwellings on large lots, of at least one and one-half acres in size. Because of the size of these lots, the needs of the residents, in those instances where the soil conditions and water table are normal, would not require urban services such as municipal water or sewer.
