Estate Residential District

The R-E Estate Residential District is hereby created in order to provide areas within the City reserved for low-density single-family residential purposes. The regulations for this zoning district and the delineation of district boundaries on the Official Zoning Map have been written and drawn for the purposes of guiding new residential development and protecting existing low density areas. When developed according to the regulations, these areas should constitute sound residential development and enhance the quality and stability of the City’s housing environment. It is the intent of this Ordinance that new residential development in this district be regulated according to sound, reasonable, and desirable regulations. The reasons for creating and implementing this zoning district and the R- 1 Single Family Residential District as two distinct zoning districts for identical permitted uses are to provide flexibility in the size of lots for single family subdivisions and to provide density-compatible alternatives for the construction of streets, storm drainage, and utility systems in new single family residential neighborhoods. The regulations governing this zoning district and the R- 1 Single Family Residential District shall be identical except for minimum area, yard, and other requirements set forth in Section 311.
