(A)   Purpose of District.  The purpose of the R1 Single-Family District is to provide for compatible land, building, and structure uses primarily oriented to low density residential estate purposes, select agricultural uses, and open space uses. The R1 District is intended to serve as a transitional element between agricultural activities and those of higher density development.  Low density detached, single-family residential dwellings and estate development, along with limited agricultural uses, comprise the principal elements of the R1 District.
