[Ord. No. 807 §3, 5-5-1997]
The "R-5" District purpose is to provide for single-family and
two-family residential development on medium sized lots together with
such churches, recreational facilities and accessory uses as may be
necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings.
The district is located to protect existing development and promote
future development in harmony with the character of the residential
surroundings. The intent of these provisions is to ensure that manufactured
homes are compatible with other dwellings in residential neighborhoods
and meet a minimum construction, placement and architectural standard
while providing an alternative means of affordable home ownership
for the residents of the community.
