(A) Purpose. The R1-18 district is intended to promote and preserve the development of single-family residential neighborhoods. The dominant land use of this zone should be single-family dwellings with the other allowed uses, educational, recreational and religious, dispersed throughout and in proportion to the size of the R1-18 neighborhood, so as to adequately serve the neighborhood. Each R1-18 neighborhood should be served by a conveniently located B-1 business area of a size in proportion to the residential area it serves. This zone provides for the lowest intensity of land use within the municipality, excepting the RA-10, RA-4 and R1-R districts. Whenever possible, the R1-18 zone should be protected from high intensity land uses and zones, and from heavily traveled transportation routes by areas of land zoned with one of the transitional zones: R1-6, MFR, MHS or NO.
(B) Permitted uses. The following are permitted uses in the R1-18 district:
(1) Dwelling, single-family;
(2) Accessory buildings (see § 150.258 for property development standards) and uses, including private swimming pool, home occupation and model home;
(3) Park, playground and community owned buildings; and
(4) Public institutional buildings.
(C) Conditional uses.
(1) The following uses may be permitted subject to a conditional use permit (see § 150.015):
(a) Church;
(b) Convent;
(c) Golf course (except miniature course or practice driving tee operated for commercial purpose), including clubhouse and service facilities which are intended to primarily serve golf course uses and are no closer than 300 feet to any exterior boundary of the golf course, except that the facilities shall have direct access from a collector or arterial street or a highway from which they shall be a distance of at least 50 feet;
(d) Model home complex;
(e) Public or private recreation fields and recreation buildings;
(f) Temporary buildings used for the sale of homes or lots; and
(2) Because no list of uses can be exhaustive, decisions on unspecified uses shall be rendered by the Planning and Zoning Commission with appeal to the Town Council.
(D) Property development standards. (See §§ 150.164 through 150.184 for additional standards and exceptions.)

(F) Continuation or termination of certain nonconforming uses. All manufactured homes existing within the R1-18 zone as of the date of this amendment shall be declared to be nonconforming, and shall be allowed to remain until the time as any manufactured home within the R1-18 zone becomes a hazard to the life or safety of the occupants and is in complete disrepair, or the manufactured home is removed from the property, or any conditional use permit becomes void, the use of the property shall then conform to all the conditions then in force for the R1-18 zone. Any property owner effected shall have the right to apply for a variance, as provided for elsewhere in the Code, allowing for continued use by heirs, possible resale and replacement under certain circumstances.
