R8
Residential District
The R-8 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 low, medium or high density residential use. The regulations for this district are intended to discourage any use that would substantially interfere with the development, use, and enjoyment of single-unit dwellings or that would be detrimental to the quiet residential character of the district. The regulations of this district also are designed to encourage the wise use of land and natural resources, with the aim of reducing sprawl and the costly provision of infrastructure to serve dispersed development. The minimum lot area is 8,000 sq ft, and the maximum density allowed is 5.44 units per acre.
