R-1
Residential-Suburban Zone
The purpose of the R-1 Residential-Suburban District is to provide for the orderly expansion of low to medium density suburban-type development; to provide for the public health and to prevent the overcrowding of the land through the application of maximum housing densities; to provide standards which will encourage installation of public facilities and the reservation of public open space; to exclude activities of a commercial or industrial nature and any activities not compatible with residential development.
