This district is established to accommodate and provide for the completion and continued use of the existing single-family residential portions of the St. James Plantation (the Plantation) as it existed upon the effective date of the initial adoption of this ordinance. Following the effective date of this ordinance, this district may be expanded only to include additional property containing single-family residential areas and their associated recreational amenities and permanently protected open space that has been legally joined by restrictive covenants to the town's Property Owner's Association
Given the existence of a private contractual arrangement between individual property owners within the Plantation and the town's Property Owners' Association (POA), which regulates the development of single-family dwellings on individual lots through a set of design guidelines, promulgated and enforced by the POA's Architectural Control Committee, it is the intent of this district to allow these regulations to continue to govern such development. A variety of housing types are permitted, however, the homes will be built in designated areas zoned and dedicated to housing type and purpose. A development may consist of a mixture of housing types, however, each type must be in its designated area and each area must be separated using an aesthetically suitable transitional strategy buffering the types of neighborhoods. See Article 12.9 for open space and recreational space requirements.
However, in order to ensure that the health, safety, and general welfare of the residents and owners of property within this district are protected, the character of these residential areas is preserved and to prevent environmental damage, the following minimum standards shall apply.
