R1
Residential Low Density District
The intent of the R1 District is to designate areas where agriculture has been an historic use of land, but which areas are now primarily residential. Such areas often face environmental limitations and potential water supply and sewage disposal problems that restrict the extent of development. Regulations and standards in the R1 District are intended to limit density and, based on soil conditions and land accessibility, reduce the number of uses that are considered suitable.
