In order to carry out the purposes and provisions of these standards, the city is hereby divided into the following districts.
(A) Agricultural District (A-1). The A-1 Zone in which agriculture and certain related uses are encouraged as the principal land use. The specific intent is to facilitate the proper use of lands best suited for agriculture by preventing the mixture of urban and rural uses which creates incompatibility and conflict, places unbalanced tax loads on agricultural lands to help pay for urban services, and contributes to the premature termination of agricultural pursuits. This zone is also designed to prevent the illogical placement of residential uses in the otherwise open countryside.
(B) Residential districts.
(1) One-Family Dwelling District (R-1). The R-1 Zone is established to recognize areas presently existing or proposed for single-family dwellings. These standards recognize the need for providing adequate space for buildings, open areas and off-street parking.
(2) General Residence District (R-2). The R-2 Zone is established to recognize areas presently existing or proposed for either single-family, two- family or multiple-family dwellings. These standards recognize the need for properly regulated areas for higher density residential uses. The standards reflect the corresponding space requirements of higher density residential uses.
(C) Business districts.
(1) Limited Retail Business District (B-1). The B-1 Zone is established to protect compatible limited retail business uses. The uses as clothing, variety, drug and jewelry stores are generally compatible when located in proximity to one another. Deleterious commercial uses should be separated from the limited retail uses.
(2) General Retail, Service and Wholesale Business District (B-2). The B-2 Zone is established to permit those commercial uses excluded from the limited retail business district. These uses are of the type that generally require more space or are incompatible with limited retail business uses.
(D) Manufacturing District (M-1). The M-1 Zone is established to protect the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare of the community by the proper allocation of land for industrial use. It is also the aim of the M-1 Zone to protect and promote the economic base of the city by regulating manufacturing development in appropriate locations.
(E) Mobile Home Park District (M-P). The M-P Zone is established to recognize areas presently existing or proposed for mobile home parks. These standards recognize the need for providing adequate and secure space, open areas and off-street parking for mobile homes.
