(A) Statement of purpose.
(1) The Residential District is established as the district in which the principal use of land is for single-family dwellings.
(2) For the Residential District in promoting the general purpose of this chapter, the specific intent of this subchapter is:
(a) To encourage the construction of, and the continued use of the land for single-family dwellings;
(b) To prohibit business, commercial or industrial use of the land, and to prohibit any other use which would be incompatible with continued development of single-family dwellings in the district;
(c) To encourage the discontinuance of existing uses that would not be permitted as new uses under the provisions of this chapter;
(d) To discourage any land use which would generate traffic on minor or local streets, other than normal traffic to serve the residences on those streets; and
(e) To discourage any use, which because of its unusual character and size would create requirements and costs for public service such as fire and police protection, snow removal and garbage collection, substantially in excess of those requirements and cost if the district were developed solely for single-family dwellings.
(3) No building or structure or premises shall be constructed, located, erected, installed, altered, assembled or used in the Residential District, in whole or in part, for any use authorized in the district except in accordance with the regulations herein contained, as well as those required by the Town of Beverly Shores Building Code.
