Four residential zones are established to provide residents with comfortable, healthy, safe and pleasant living environments. These zones should be separated from incompatible and disruptive activities that may conflict with this purpose. The zones are designed to accommodate specific types of development approaches and housing to serve the needs of city residents.
(A) Low-Density Single-Family Residential Zone (R-1-7,500). The R-1-7,500 zone provides areas for the development of detached single-family dwelling units, duplexes, and two attached single-family dwelling units on a single lot on lots greater than or equal to 7,500 square feet in size. The zone is intended to protect and stabilize desirable characteristics of single-family residential areas, including larger lot sizes and separation from incompatible land uses.
(B) Single-Family Residential Zone (R-1). The R-1 zone provides areas for the development of detached single-family dwelling units, duplexes, and two attached single-family dwelling units on a single lot. The zone is also intended to protect and stabilize desirable characteristics of single-family residential areas.
(C) Garden Multi-Family Residential Zone (R-G). The R-G zone provides an environment suitable for both small-lot detached or attached dwelling units where more than one unit may be built on a lot. The intent is to promote desirable characteristics for medium-density neighborhoods.
(D) High Density Multi-Family Residential Zone (R-3). The R-3 zone provides opportunities for persons to live in small-lot single family developments and developments containing multiple units, such as apartments or condominiums with common open space and other shared amenities.
