Single-Family Residential District

The R5 residential district is established as a district in which the principal use of land is for single-family dwellings. For the R5 residential district, in promoting the general purposes of this title, the specific intent of this section is: To encourage the construction or placement of, and the continued use of the land for single-family dwellings on urban lots.; To protect the quiet enjoyment of residential property and discourage all uses or activities that interfere with or detract from these principal uses of this zoning district.; To encourage the discontinuance of existing uses that would not be permitted as new uses under the provisions of this title.; To discourage any use which would generate traffic on minor streets other than normal traffic to serve residents on those streets.; To discourage any use which because of its character or size would create requirements and costs for public services, such as police and fire protection, water supply and sewerage, substantially in excess of such requirements and costs if the district were developed solely for single-family dwellings.
