R-1/2AC(A)
Single-Family District 0.5 Acre
There exists in certain parts of the city large areas of single family residential development on estate type lots of one-half acre or more in area. This development has been supplied with utilities and other public services based upon an estate type density. To conserve the character and value of buildings and building sites existing in these areas and to provide for the gradual expansion of this residential development in accordance with the need and a comprehensive plan for various types of residential districts, the R-1/2ac(A) district is provided. This district is intended to be composed of single family dwellings together with public and private schools, churches, and public park areas to serve the area. The sections designated in the R-1/2ac(A) districts are limited in area and are not intended to be subject to major alteration by future amendment except at the fringe of the districts where minor adjustments may become appropriate to permit the reasonable development of vacant tracts or gradual transition from other districts.
