Single-Family Residence District
Single-Family Residential Districts are composed of certain quiet, lowdensity residential areas of the Municipality, and vacant lands where single-family residential development is encouraged. The regulations for these districts are designed to stabilize and protect the essential characteristics of these districts; to protect the amenities of certain areas where a singlefamily residential pattern has already been established; to promote a suitable environment conducive to family life; and to prohibit those commercial activities not explicitly approved. To these ends, development is limited to those uses expressly permitted and certain bulk and area regulations are established.
