Residential District

This district is composed of certain low concentrations of residential uses, plus certain open areas where similar development would be consistent with the provisions of the Town’s Comprehensive Plan. The regulations for this district are designed to stabilize and protect the essential characteristics of the district and to promote and encourage suitable environment for single-family residential units and to prohibit all activities of a commercial nature, except neighborhood professional businesses. To these ends, development is limited to low density single-unit dwellings, plus certain compatible uses by special use permit. In order to increase the supply of affordable housing and to recognize the changes in demography of a neighborhood while continuing to maintain the character of the district, accessory dwelling units are permitted by special use permit. An alternative to the precise requirements of this district may be employed, known as cluster development. The purpose of cluster development is to provide a more creative and flexible approach to the use of the land, to provide for the more efficient and economical provision of streets and utilities and to create a pedestrian-oriented, human scale streetscape.
