Residential Suburban District

The Residential Suburban district has a suburban character typically comprised of single-family detached residential uses in somewhat peripheral locations of the Town's planning jurisdiction. Allowable residential densities are around two units an acre, but may be increased based on design quality or open space provision. Lot sizes are generally larger than in urban portions of the Town, and tend to be landscaped or include undisturbed vegetation. The establishment of small- lot/small-home developments like conservation subdivisions, bungalow courts, and pocket neighborhoods are encouraged when compatible with their surroundings. Most uses are not served by public potable water and sanitary wastewater services, though neighborhood-scale water and wastewater facilities may be present. Most buildings are low-rise in height, or between one and three stories tall. Off-street parking is common. Neighborhood-scale or low-intensity nonresidential and institutional uses like schools, religious institutions, parks, and minor utility uses are allowed, provided they do not detract from the quiet, residential character of the district.
