The purpose of the residential district is to limit development to residential dwellings to provide a stable and predictable living environment. The R-1 residential district is designed as the most restrictive residential area that provides the landowner with the most predictable, although restrictive future development. R-2 districts to R-4 districts provide less restrictive and more flexible future development under this ordinance. Residential districts presume that the area is served by water utilities, sewer facilities, the contiguous area is planned for traffic, hard surface roads, surface water, and drainage.
