Zoning Ordinance

3.04.02 R-1 LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.

A. District Description:

This residential district is intended to be used for single-family residential areas with fairly low population densities. Additional permitted uses include uses and facilities normally required to provide the basic elements of a balanced and attractive residential area. These areas are intended to be defined and protected from the encroachment of uses not performing a function necessary to the residential environment. Internal stability, attractiveness, order, and efficiency are encouraged by providing for adequate light, air, and open space for dwellings and related facilities and through consideration of the proper functional relationship of each element.
