Residence Districts. The Residence Districts (R-75, R-100, and R-Rural)
are established to provide for the health, safety, and general welfare
of the residents of the Town and to promote primarily residential
uses by allowing for a wide range of types of residential units and
other limited uses that are consistent with residential neighborhoods.
Some nonresidential uses that are compatible with residential uses
are permitted in the residence districts, including but not limited
to churches, schools, childcare facilities, and home occupations.
More specifically, the purposes of each residence district are to:
(1) R-75: Allow for a variety of residential styles, including single,
two-family, and multifamily at the highest density allowed in Waterford
(11,250 square feet minimum lot size for single-family dwelling and
10,000 square feet for two-family and multifamily plus additional
space per unit).
(2) R-100: Allow for primarily residential uses at a moderately high
density (15,000 square feet for single-family dwellings with 10,000
square feet for two-family and multifamily dwellings plus additional
space per unit).
(3) R-Rural: Allow for primarily residential uses at a lower density
(two acres for a one-family dwelling) with farming and larger lots
in a more rural atmosphere.
