RS HIGH
Residential High-Single-Family Dwelling Zone
The main objective and intent of these zones are to create and maintain the type of living environment which meets the standards for single-family residential development. A further related consideration is to establish a residential density which makes it possible to more efficiently and economically install and maintain public service facilities. This includes taking into consideration the natural constraints on development, existing and potential views, and the provision of adequate open space within and between subdivisions.
