The R-5 zone is established in order to protect residential areas currently developed with one-family detached dwellings, and adjoining areas undeveloped, likely to be developed for residential purposes by allowing townhouse units, patio homes, and one family detached homes. The regulations of the R-5 zone are specifically intended to:

(1)

Ensure the best use of the land;

(2)

Ensure and protect the orderly and proper future development of the land according to its best indicated potential use for single-family dwellings;

(3)

Protect and promote a suitable environment for family life;

(4)

Discourage any use which would generate other than usual residential traffic on minor streets;

(5)

Discourage any use which, because of its character or size, would create excessive requirements or costs for public service; and

(6)

Encourage uses related to town homes and/or patio homes.
