R-5(A)

Single Family 5,000 sq ft District

This classification creates a single family dwelling district which is appropriate in area requirements for moderate value single family housing development and which, at the same time, provides a reasonable standard of light, air, and similar living amenities. It is intended that the R-5(A) classification be added by amendment in specific areas where higher density single family residence development is shown to be appropriate because of existing development and the adequacy of utilities and where redevelopment of substandard areas at increased single family density is appropriate.
