Prior legislation: Ord. 12-146.
The RA-2 residential-agricultural zone has been established for the primary purpose of providing a location where residential development associated with limited numbers of livestock can be maintained. It is also established to encourage good neighborhoods, housing, or area design thus ensuring substantial compliance with the intent of those regulations and other provisions of this chapter.
Furthermore, it is established to regulate the health, safety and general welfare of Naples residents and at the same time secure the advantage of large scale site planning for residential needs. The regulations also permit the establishment, with proper controls, of public and semipublic uses such as churches, schools, parks and playgrounds, which serve the requirements of families. The regulations are intended to prohibit those uses that would be harmful to single-family neighborhoods.
