R-3
Residential District
The R-3 Residential District is primarily intended to provide locations for a variety of residential development depending upon the availability of public water and sewer services. Some areas within the R-3 Residential District will have no public water and sewer services available and will thus be suitable primarily for single-family residential units on individual lots and mobile homes on individual lots. Other areas within the district will have public water and/or sewer service available and will thus be suitable for higher density uses such as multifamily residential units, planned unit developments, and mobile home parks. The R-3 district also provides for various recreational, community service and educational uses that will complement the residential development.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
