The residential district regulations are intended to govern the location, intensity, and method of development of the residential areas of the village. The regulations of each district are designed to provide for the protection of existing residential areas and to provide for new residential growth in accord with the design and density objectives of the community. The residential uses are grouped into the residential districts set out in this chapter and Chapter 17.28.

The R-1, single-family residential district is the most restrictive of the residential districts and is composed of certain quiet, low-density residential areas of the village plus certain open areas where similar residential development appears likely to occur. It is the intent of this district to provide for an environment of predominantly low-density single-unit dwellings plus certain additional uses such as schools, parks, and certain public facilities which serve the residents living in the district. All commercial activities excepting room renting and other home occupations, which are allowed by special use only are prohibited.

Home occupation businesses not to exceed two employees shall be allowed as a special use. See Chapter 17.72.
