General Residential District
The General Residential GR district is established to accommodate primarily single-family detached, attached residential, and two-to four-family dwellings, subject to design standards to ensure their compatibility with the single-family character of the district, at moderate densities. District regulations are intended to discourage any use that substantially interferes with the development of single-family, two-family, or three-to-four family dwellings, or that is detrimental to the quiet residential nature of the district.
