A. General: This district is intended to preserve the character of the designated existing residential neighborhoods that were developed under prior zoning categories that are no longer used in this UDO or of platted areas that may now be nonconforming. This district ensures that owners of property in designated established neighborhoods are not required to seek variances to improve existing homes that were either built before zoning regulations were adopted or conformed to the regulations that were in effect with the previous ordinance. Any nonconformities or zoning violations that existed at the time of adoption of this UDO shall remain in effect. Variances will be required when improvements to existing homes would otherwise violate or not conform to the regulations that were in effect with previous ordinances.
B. Character: This district has a predominantly single-family residential character.
C. Uses: The district is intended to preserve existing residential character and discourage conversion of residential uses to other uses.
D. Infrastructure: Water and sewer service are provided by on site wells and septic systems or by public utilities depending on the lot size and configurations of development. (Ord. 10-001, 1-12-2010)
