The R-1 Low-Density Residential District is comprised of those areas where single-family detached dwellings are predominant. This district generally coincides with potential sewer and water utility service areas; however, the actual availability of these services is likely to occur at different times, in different areas. As a result, permitted densities and design standards have been adjusted according to the availability of these public utilities.
