ARTICLE 111 -SPECIFIC DISTRICT REGULATION
SECTION 1: RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS
A. General Description -The regulations for the residential zoning districts are
designed to: (1) protect the residential character of the included areas by excluding
commercial and industrial activities; (2) encourage a suitable environment for family life
by permitting such neighborhood facilities as churches, schools, and playgrounds; (3)
permit certain community facilities and public utilities for the convenience and general
welfare of the people; and (4) preserve openness of the areas and avoid overcrowding by
requiring certain minimum yards, open spaces and site areas. There are herein established
five residential zoning districts which include the R-E Single Family Residential Estate;
R-1 Single Family Residential; R-2 Low Density Residential, R-3 Mobile Home District;
and R-4 Medium Density Residential District.
1. R-E Single Family Residential Estate -This is the most restrictive residential
district requiring a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet and a minimum lot
width of 100 feet at the building line. The principal use of land is for detached
single family dwellings and related recreational, religious, and educational
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.
