District regulations for the Town of Stanley are set forth in the sections describing each district and in the Schedule of Dimensional Regulations included at the end of this chapter.

residential areas and undeveloped areas where similar densities of
development are likely to occur. The intent of the regulations for

to promote and encourage additional residential growth at similar

development is limited to single- and two-family dwellings plus selected
additional uses such as schools, parks, churches and certain public
facilities which are included to serve the residents of the area.

groups, to preserve and reinforce the residential character of the
Town and to concentrate development in order to minimize the cost
of services. Therefore, development is limited to single-family dwellings,

that Town sewerage service will be available in the near future. Selected
additional uses such as schools, parks, churches and certain public
facilities that serve the residents of the area are also permitted.

that generate considerable amounts of traffic.
