Any use permitted in the R-1 Single-Family Residential District.
B. 
Two-family dwellings, subject to the special regulations of § 245-114.

Any accessory use permitted in the R-1 Single-Family Residential District.

An office for administration of a multiple-family development, located in a main building containing 10 or more dwelling units.

A laundry room for use of occupants of a multiple-family dwelling development.
