Residential District
The R-1 Residential District is intended to be limited exclusively to single-family site built and modular dwelling units. The characteristics of the district, and the uses allowed there, are primarily residential in nature. The regulations of this district are intended to discourage any use that, because of its character, would substantially interfere with the development of single-family residences, and which would be detrimental to the quality of life that appeals to the average resident of this county
