R-1
Low Density Residential District
This is the most restricted residential district, intended for low density single-family use along with open areas which appear likely to develop in a similar manner. The requirements for the district are designed to protect essential characteristics and provide an environment for family life. Additional related uses normally required to provide the basic needs and conveniences of a residential area are permitted upon review by the planning commission provided certain standards are met. It is necessary to set higher standards for these related uses because they generate more traffic than single family residential uses and would be detrimental to a residential neighborhood if they were not required to meet minimum standards.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Religious facility
Housing-Single unit
