The R-l District is the most restrictive residential district. The principal use of land is for single-family dwellings and related recreational, religious and educational institutions and facilities normally required to provide an orderly and attractive residential area. These residential areas are intended to be defined and protected from encroachment of uses which are not appropriate to a residential environment. Internal stability, attractiveness, order and efficiency are encouraged by providing for adequate light, air, and open space for dwellings and related facilities and through consideration of the proper functional relationship of the different uses.
1. Principal Uses Permitted. Property and buildings in an R-1 Single-Family Residential District shall be used only for the following purposes:
A. Single-family detached dwellings.

F. Parochial or private schools having similar curricula as public schools and having no rooms used regularly for housing or sleeping purposes.
G. Public, semi-public parks, and playgrounds.
