Low Density Residential District

These districts are designed to provide suitable areas for low density residential development characterized by an open appearance. Generally, the residential development will consist of one- and two-family dwellings and such other structures as are accessory thereto. These districts also include community facilities, public utilities, and open uses which serve specifically the residents of these districts, or which are benefited by an open residential or undesirable influence upon residential developments. Further, it is the intent of this ordinance that these districts shall be served by complete urban services and facilities and that provision be made for the orderly expansion and maintenance of urban residential development within the urban area. It is the express purpose of this ordinance to exclude from these districts all buildings and other structures and uses having commercial characteristics whether operated for profit or otherwise, except that conditional uses 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 ordinance.
