Single-Family Residential District

These districts are designed to provide suitable areas for single-family residential development at densities which typically characterize a suburban environment where appropriate urban services and facilities, specifically, including public sewer service, are provided at the time of development. Residential development will consist of single detached dwellings and such other structures as are accessory thereto. These districts also include community facilities, public utilities, and open uses which serve specifically the residents of these districts, or that are benefited by an open residential environment without creating objectionable or undesirable influences upon residential developments. Further, it is the intent of this ordinance that these districts be so located that the expansion of appropriate urban services can be physically and economically facilitated for the orderly expansion and maintenance of urban residential development throughout the planning jurisdiction. It is the express purpose of this ordinance to exclude from these districts all buildings or other structures and uses having commercial characteristics, whether operated for profit or otherwise, except that conditional uses and home occupations specifically provided by these regulations for these districts shall be considered as not having such characteristics if they otherwise conform to the provisions of this ordinance.
