The purpose of the R-1 Residential District
is to provide suitable, centrally located areas for neighborhoods
of single-family home development that afford relatively direct highway
access. Open space design of dwellings is preferred, to retain open
land and minimize impacts on agriculture. Use of individual water
and sewer systems is anticipated.
A building or other structure may be erected,
altered, or used, and a lot may be used or occupied, for any of the
following purposes, and no other:
C.
Single-family detached dwelling on an existing lot,
or single-family detached dwellings on lots proposed to be created
through subdivision of a tract into not more than three lots where
the open space design option is not utilized;
F.
Accessory use, subject to standards in § 170-121; in no case shall a helistop, as defined by this chapter, be permitted as an accessory use;
