To provide for areas in appropriate locations where quiet, low-density residential neighborhoods may be established, maintained, and protected. The regulations of this district are designed to promote and encourage a suitable environment for families, most of whom will have children. To this end, the regulations permit the establishment of single-family dwellings and also permit, with proper controls, those public and quasi-public activities such as schools, libraries, churches, parks and playgrounds, which serve the needs of families. The regulations are intended to prohibit the establishment or operation of any activity which would be adverse to such a residential environment.
