R-1
Residential District
It is the intent of this district to provide for continued low density, single-family residential development compatible with established use patterns and appropriate because of the relative remoteness from major commercial areas and transportation routes. Clustering development provisions provide flexible development options where special consideration is given to preservation of slopes, woodland and open space and where public water and centralized sewer facilities are provided. The district is designed to protect existing patterns of development and to encourage the compatible development of vacant land for similar types of development. It is intended that the development will occur where it will minimize impact on the natural environment and promote the preservation of natural features.
