(A) It is the purpose of the R-1 District to encourage a predominance of dwelling structures located on individual parcels of land housing only one family or functional family. The requirements for this district are designed to protect and stabilize the essential character of these areas and to promote and encourage a suitable and safe environment for family life.
(B) It is recognized that a desirable living environment includes many nonresidential uses of land and buildings. In order to ensure compatibility and protect against potentially injurious effects upon residential property, certain minimum requirements are set forth for these uses, whether permitted by right or permitted by special use permit.
