Leland City Zoning Code

In the R-1 and R-2 single-family residence districts, land is principally used for, or is best suited for, detached single- family dwellings and related educational, religious, and recreational facilities. The regulations applicable to each single-family residence district are intended to stabilize and preserve sound existing neighborhoods developed at varying densities. The differing regulations are also intended to promote the development of a range of new single-family housing that is appropriate for persons with different social needs and income levels. The village citizens are proud of their rural heritage and believe that good sized lots will preserve that image. (Ord. 92-09, 4-14-1992)
