The residential districts ("R districts") are primarily for residential land uses and for other selected uses that are deemed compatible with residential environments. The various residential districts are intended to maintain and promote a variety of housing types within the village.

Generally, the homes will be located on lots ranging from thirty thousand (30,000) to fifty thousand (50,000) square feet. These developments will incorporate a semi-custom product and the location of schools, religious assemblies, and other local services may be appropriate.

Residential density is intended to be a maximum of ten (10) dwelling units per acre.
