One Family Residential District
The R-1 One Family Residential districts provide areas for low to medium density one family residential dwelling units. The districts include areas of existing one family developments as well as areas within which such development appears likely and desirable. They are intended to encourage more intensive development in and near the core areas of the township with less intensive development moving outward towards the more rural and remote areas of the township. The R-1 districts are designed to encourage a suitable neighborhood environment for family life by including among the permitted uses such facilities as schools and parks that will promote a sense of community and urban vitality.
