R-15
Residential Single-Family-15 District
The single-family residential districts are intended to accommodate one single-family detached principal dwelling unit per lot. These districts should be applied in areas where the land-use pattern is predominately single-family residential or where such a land use pattern is desired in the future. Five single-family residential districts are established-R-15 which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area and setback requirements.; New R-15 districts are generally located at least 1,500 to 2,000 ft from a CMU-1, CMU-2, CMU-3 or CBD district.
