Low Density/Single-Family Residential District
These districts are designed to provide suitable areas for single-family residential development within areas that are predominantly characterized by low-density suburban residential development. Residential development consists of single-family detached dwellings and other accessory structures thereto. The intensity of development permitted within these districts is directly related to the availability of public water service and sewage capabilities. These districts also include community facilities, public utilities, and open uses that serve specifically the residents of these districts, or that are benefited by an open residential environment without creating objectionable or undesirable influences upon residential developments. It is the express purpose of this resolution to exclude from these districts all buildings or other structures and uses having commercial characteristics, whether operated for profit or otherwise, except that uses on review, with supplementary provision and home occupations specifically provided by these regulations for these districts shall be considered as not having such characteristics if they otherwise conform to the provisions of this resolution.
