R-SF

Residential Single Family District

Established to provide for traditional single-family subdivisions and/or maintain areas in the County for traditional single-family residential uses, such areas, in general, do not presently contain mobile or manufactured homes, duplexes or multi-family dwelling developments. Since manufactured homes and other types of residential dwelling units are accommodated in many of the other residential districts, certain areas of the County can be set aside exclusively for single-family purposes. Unlike the R-S district where public utilities are currently in place or expected to be in the near future, the provision of public utilities is not a factor in the location of the R-SF district. Thus, the R-SF district may be applied to areas which have received both suburban and more rural types of development in the past.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Religious facility
Housing-Single unit
Infrastructure
