Residential Suburban District
This district is suburban in nature, characterized by a balance between landscape and buildings. This is the primary low-density single-family residential district, intended to permit a wide range of single-family uses on larger lots. Open space, tree-lined streets, and low impervious surface ratios characterize the built environment. Institutional and recreational uses that serve the neighborhoods are permitted but are restricted in scale to preserve the safety and integrity of the neighborhood streets.
