RESIDENCE A
One-Family District
This district is intended to create, preserve and enhance areas of the city composed primarily of single-family residences built at low or medium densities on quiet streets, but which were developed at a period of time in the past when lot sizes were somewhat smaller than those of more recently developed single-family neighborhoods. These areas are still stable and essentially in sound condition and should be protected from the intrusion of uses and activities incompatible with the character of a single-family area. Because of the older and more modest character of this type of neighborhood, a limited amount of uses not of the single family type may have found a place in the district in the past.
