Zoning
RSF-3
Residential Single-Family - Small Lot District
The purpose of the Residential Single-Family-Small Lot (RSF-3) District is to provide lands that accommodate primarily single-family detached dwellings at moderate densities. The district also accommodates parks and recreation centers, government offices, and minor utility facilities. District regulations discourage development that substantially interferes with the quiet residential nature of the district.
