Single Family-Traditional District
The purpose of the Single Family - Traditional SF-T district is to accommodate development of single-family detached dwellings at higher densities, and to support walkable development patterns in the Traditional Character District. The district also accommodates day cares, limited group living, government offices, parks and recreation centers, and minor utility facilities. District regulations discourage development that substantially interferes with the quiet residential nature of the district.
