Single Family 6 District
The purpose of the Single Family 6 SF-6 district is to provide lands that accommodate primarily lowdensity, single family detached dwellings on relatively small lots. 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. It is generally intended to be located in the suburban character district.
