   The R-1 District consists of low-density residential areas, together with open areas, wherein further low-density residential development appears likely to occur. The regulations for this district are designed to protect and promote the essential characteristics of this district, to promote and encourage a healthy and suitable environment for family life, especially for families that include children, and to ensure that the limited physical size of the town is developed in accordance with its historical character as a town that is primarily residential, with concentrated commercial uses. To this end, development in the R-1 District is limited to low-concentration residential use, mostly detached single-family residences, together with certain additional uses that would serve the residents of this district, including schools, parks, and utilities. To preserve the character of this district, no commercial or industrial use is allowed.
