1124.01 PURPOSE AND INTENT.

   (a)   The City of Highland Heights, Ohio, includes several large residential parcels of land, which, to date, have not, for various reasons, been developed for residential purposes. The development of these remaining large land parcels for residential purposes would be in the best interest of the City which has an overall residential character. The establishment of the Recreation and Residential Development (R & R) District allows for the development of unified and pre-planned residential areas within the City, and provides land developers with the opportunity to utilize contemporary architectural design, site arrangement, landscaping and land development technologies. The provisions contained in this chapter are intended both to enhance the growth of the City as a residential community and to provide for the preservation of existing environmental conditions.

   (b)    Because of the special characteristics of a Recreation and Residential Development (R & R) District, special provisions governing the development of land for this purpose are required. Whenever there is a conflict or difference between the provisions of this chapter and those of other chapters of this Zoning Code, the provisions of this chapter shall prevail. Subjects not covered by this chapter shall be governed by the respective provisions found elsewhere in the Planning and Zoning Code of the City of Highland Heights.
