(A) Statement of purpose. The R-1A, R-1B and R-1C Districts are distinguished by different minimum lot sizes and setbacks as shown in the Schedule of District Regulations, § 154.063.
(1) The Single-Family Residential Districts encourage the construction of, and the use of the land for, dwellings at a density without overcrowding, where public facilities can be provided at reasonable cost.
(2) The Single-Family Residential Districts seek to protect an environment conducive to the enjoyment of home and family living by discouraging heavy traffic on local residential streets; by not allowing new commercial, industrial and other uses that interfere with residential uses; and by phasing out existing nonconforming uses.
(3) In the Single-Family Residential Districts special provision is made for uses that, because of their character or size, create a need for public facilities and services that are significantly different from that anticipated from single-family developments. These needs include: fire and police protection, water supply, wastewater collection and treatment, streets.
(B) Permitted uses.
(1) The permitted residential uses in the R-1A and R-1B Single-Family Residential Districts are the same as those permitted in the Agricultural/Residential District under § 154.055(B)(6), (8) through (15) and (20).
(C) Special approval land uses. Special approval land uses are permitted subject to the procedures set forth in §§ 154.090 through 154.098, which include a public hearing. A site plan is required for all special approval uses (§ 154.150), except as provided herein. Section 154.095 provides general standards to guide action by the Township Planning Commission. For a specific land use, additional standards are specified in §§ 154.099 through 154.135, and in this section below.
(1) Special approval land uses as listed and as regulated under § 154.055(C)(12) through (19).
(2) Private recreational areas as provided in § 154.113.
(D) Area, height and placement requirements. The building, height, lot coverage, floor area, lot size and setbacks shall be determined in accordance with the schedule of regulations set forth in § 154.063.
