R-1
Single-Family Limited
The purpose of this district is to accommodate single-family site built and modular construction. The minimum lot size allowed in this district will be dependent on the provision of public or community water and sewer facilities. Although areas may be served with such utilities, most of these areas are located beyond existing or anticipated utility service coverage areas. The minimum lot size for residential uses in this district is therefore larger than in other residential zoning districts.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Religious facility
Housing-Single unit
Educational / school
