This zone acknowledges the tightly knit single-family detached
dwelling development pattern which has evolved in those areas around
West York Borough and in Bair. This zone provides for the infilling
of small, undeveloped parcels within these established neighborhoods
in a manner consistent with the existing development form and density.
In addition, special accessory use setbacks are provided to encourage
further improvements on the existing relatively small lots.
