The R-1 Low-Density Residential District is comprised of those
areas where single-family detached dwellings are predominant. This
district generally coincides with potential sewer and water utility
service areas; however, the actual availability of these services
is likely to occur at different times, in different areas. As a result,
permitted densities and design standards have been adjusted according
to the availability of these public utilities.
