One-Family Dwelling District
The regulations of the R-1 one family residential districts are intended to encourage a suitable environment for families typically with children. To this end, uses are limited to one family dwelling unit structures and certain compatible uses that create a neighborhood environment. In keeping with the intent, development is restricted to a moderately low density. While the uses permitted in the residential districts, the dimensional standards vary between the districts to provide a range of one-family living environments within the City. Commercial and other uses that tend to be incompatible with the intent of the one family residential districts are prohibited.
