§ 153.085 RESIDENTIAL ZONE REGULATIONS.
   The following regulations shall apply in the R-1 single-family, R-2 multi-family, and the R-3 mobile home zones.
   (A)   R-1 single-family zone.
      (1)   Purpose. The R-1 single-family zone is intended to establish and preserve low density, single-family homes, free from other land uses except those which are compatible with and convenient to the residents of such a zone. The R-1 zone allows for single-family development in areas within the jurisdiction not readily serviceable by water and sewer facilities but desirable for residential development. Such lot sizes would be of sufficient size to adequately provide onsite water and sewer facilities for each individual single-family home.
      (2)   Permitted uses in an R-1 zone.
         (a)   Single-family detached dwellings;
         (b)   Manufactured homes;
         (c)   Accessory buildings;
         (d)   Swimming pools as specified under the conditions of § 153.084(B)(11);
         (e)   Home occupations;
         (f)   Home workshops/businesses;
         (g)   Park, playground, or community center, owned and operated by a local community association for subdivisions or neighborhoods;
         (h)   Pond (same as § 153.084(B)(14)); and
         (i)   Name plate or advertising signs, provided they shall be provided in accordance with § 153.093(F).
      (3)   Building size regulations in an R-1 zone. No building shall be erected in an R-1 zone having a floor area of less than 950 square feet, exclusive of unenclosed porches, terraces, and garages.
      (4)   Ingress and egress easements. Where an easement is desired or necessary to serve a property not adjacent to a public road, the width of said ingress/egress easement or the deeded portion of the lot which serves as ingress and egress to said parcel shall be a minimum of 25 feet in width if the same services one residence. In the case of ingress/egress ways serving more than one lot, the minimum width shall be 50 feet.
   (B)   R-2 multiple-family zone.
      (1)   Purpose. The R-2 multiple-family zone is intended to establish and preserve single-family, two-family, and multiple-family home neighborhoods, free from other land uses except those which are compatible with and convenient to the residents of such a zone.
      (2)   Permitted uses in a R-2 zone.
         (a)   Any use permitted in a R-1 single-family zone;
         (b)   Two-family dwellings;
         (c)   Multiple-family dwellings; and
         (d)   Multiple-group dwellings.
      (3)   Building size regulations in an R-2 zone. No building shall be erected in an R-2 zone having a floor area of less than 840 square feet per dwelling exclusive of unenclosed porches, terraces, and garages.
      (4)   Ingress and egress easements. Where an easement is desired or necessary to serve a property not adjacent to a public road, the width of said ingress/egress easement or the deeded portion of the lot which serves as ingress and egress to said parcel shall be a minimum of 25 feet in width if the same services one residence. In the case of ingress/egress ways serving more than one lot, the minimum width shall be 50 feet.
   (C)   R-3 mobile home park zone.
      (1)   Purpose. The R-3 mobile home park zone is intended to provide sites for mobile home parks at appropriate locations, in relationship to the existing and potential development of the surrounding area, while establishing an attractive residential environment. All mobile home parks shall be developed in accordance with the development plan requirements in § 153.091.
      (2)   Permitted uses in an R-3 zone.
         (a)   Mobile home parks or subdivisions;
         (b)   Accessory buildings;
         (c)   Park, playground, or community center, owned and operated by a local community association or mobile home park developer for subdivisions or neighborhoods; and
