RS5
Single-Family Residential District
The purpose of the RS5 districts is to promote, preserve and protect neighborhoods intended for single-family dwellings and having a character slightly more suburban than the RS6 district. These districts require larger lots, larger setbacks and a smaller lot coverage than the RS6 district. The neighborhoods found in these districts feature a regular platting pattern and a more uniform pattern of development than those of the RS6 district. These neighborhoods were platted and developed, in large part, in the mid- to late-1900s, with some areas recently developed.
