§ 152.066 R-1 SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.

   The low density residential classification is the most restrictive Residential District. The principal land use in this District is for single-family dwellings and for associated religious, recreational, educational, and public facilities necessary to provide for a balanced and attractive low density residential area. Lands in this District are intended to be protected from encroachment of uses detrimental to and not performing a function appropriate to the residential environment. Property values are stabilized and orderly growth promoted by providing adequate light, air, and open space and through consideration of proper function relationships of each permitted use.

   (A)   Permitted uses. Include detached single-family dwellings.

   (B)   Conditional uses. The following uses are special exceptions and require written approval of the Board of Adjustment.
