§ 155.037 through § 155.039 RESERVED.
ZONING DISTRICT REGULATIONS
(A) Intent. The intent of the R-1A through R-1C One-Family Residential Districts is to provide areas within the city for the construction and continued use of one-family dwellings within stable neighborhoods. It is intended that the principal use of land is for single-family dwellings, but each district has different minimum area, density, and placement requirements to provide different housing types and to accommodate the varied needs of the population. It is also the intent of this district to prohibit multiple family, office, business, commercial or industrial use of the land, and to prohibit any other use which would substantially interfere with development or continuation of single- family dwellings in the districts.
(B) Principal uses permitted. In a One-Family Residential District (R-1A through R-1C) no building or land shall be used and no building shall be erected except for one or more of the following specified uses, unless otherwise provided in this chapter:
(1) One-family detached dwellings.
(2) Agriculture on those parcels of land separately owned outside the boundaries of either a proprietary or supervisor’s plat, having an area of not less than five acres, all subject to the health and sanitation provisions of the city code. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to grow or to permit the growing of household food products in residential areas between the front lot line and the setback line.
(3) Publicly owned and operated libraries, parks, parkways and recreational facilities.
(4) Instructions in crafts or fine arts when conducted within the confines of a principal use and provided all requirements of the city’s ordinances are met.
(5) Child or adult foster care for six or less persons as licensed by the state.
(6) Cemeteries, which lawfully occupied land at the time of adoption of this chapter.
(7) Temporary buildings and uses for construction purposes for a period not to exceed one year. Land in R-1A through R-1C districts shall not be used as a construction staging area for any project other than a project on the parcel of land where construction is taking place.
(C) Special land uses. The following uses shall be permitted, subject to the conditions set forth in this subchapter, §§ 155.071 through 155.082, all applicable codes and ordinances set forth in this chapter and other codes and regulations hereinafter imposed for each use.

(6) Private noncommercial recreational areas or institutional or community recreation centers.
(7) Golf courses, which may or may not be operated for profit.

(A) Intent. The RM Restricted Multiple Dwelling District is designed to accommodate those types of low rise multiple dwelling structures which are similar, in terms of use and architectural character, to one-family dwellings. The RM District is further designed to encourage a more intensive use of residential land through the elimination of certain exterior yard areas and the development of building types and/or modules, which will contain private interior open spaces or provide common exterior open space areas. The RM District is typically mapped adjacent to major and secondary thoroughfares, due to location and/or restrictive dimensions, may not be desirable for detached single-family dwellings.
(B) Principal uses permitted. In the RM District no building or land, except as otherwise provided in this chapter, shall be erected or used except for one or more of the following specified purposes and shall be permitted subject to the review and approval of the site plan by the Planning Commission.

No site plan review is necessary on single family homes.
(1) All principal uses permitted in the R-1 One-Family Residential Districts subject to the lot area, yard and floor area requirements as specified therein.
