R-1
Residential District
The R-1 Residential District encompasses most of the town’s developed residential areas and contains residential structures of historical and architectural significance in a most unique residential environment. The intent of the R-1 District is to preserve and enhance the character of existing neighborhoods and generally to provide a pleasant living environment. These neighborhoods consist of single-family owner occupied detached dwelling units placed on relatively large lots with considerable open spaces between structures, thus creating a low-density residential environment.; Nonresidential uses, including home occupations, have been limited in this District as a means of maintaining the character of these neighborhoods. Likewise, dimensional requirements pertaining to lot size, building setbacks, yard requirements, and height limitations have been established to promote the general welfare and preservation of the community.; Future construction and alteration of existing structures should be oriented at maintaining and enhancing the existing character of the residential neighborhoods. Therefore, structures should be compatible in materials, height, siting, color, texture, scale, and proportion to the other structures in the neighborhood. The R-1 District also contains undeveloped areas to provide locations for future single-family subdivisions.; Consistent with, and to protect the existing character of the neighborhoods in this District, home stays and short term rentals are not allowed.
