The R-12 district is established as a district in which the principal use of land is for single-unit dwellings, and is appropriate in areas where the Comprehensive Plan supports very low, low or medium density residential use. The regulations of this district are intended to discourage any use that would substantially interfere with the development of single-unit dwellings and that would be detrimental to the quiet residential nature of the district. The minimum lot area is 12,000 sq ft, and the maximum densityallowed is 3.63 units per acre.
