10-6-1: ESTABLISHMENT OF ZONING DISTRICTS:

For the purpose of this title, the following zones are created to be applied as necessary to regulate the development of the land in the City:
Agriculture Zone (A)
Residential Zone (R-1-10)
Residential Zone (R-1-12)
Commercial Zone (C)
Manufacturing Zone (M-1) (Ord. 18-01, 1-16-2018)

10-6-2: PURPOSE OF ZONING DISTRICTS:

   A.   Agriculture Zone (A): The purpose of this zone is to preserve appropriate areas of the City for permanent agricultural use. Uses normally and necessarily related to agriculture are permitted and uses inimical to the continuance of agricultural activity are not allowed.
   B.   Residential Zone (R-1-10): The purpose of this zone is to provide appropriate locations where low density residential neighborhoods with a minimum lot area of ten thousand (10,000) square feet may be established, maintained and protected. The regulations also permit the establishment of, with proper controls, the public and semipublic uses such as churches, schools, libraries, parks and playgrounds, which serve the requirements of families. The regulations are intended to prohibit those uses that would be harmful to a single family neighborhood.
   C.   Residential Zone (R-1-12): The purpose of this zone is to provide appropriate locations where low density residential neighborhoods with a minimum lot area of twelve thousand (12,000) square feet may be established, maintained and protected. The regulations also permit the establishment of, with proper controls, the public and semipublic uses such as churches, schools, libraries, parks and playgrounds, which serve the requirements of families. The regulations are intended to prohibit those uses that would be harmful to a single family neighborhood.
   D.   Commercial Zone (C): The purpose of this zone is to provide areas for community retail and service activities in locations to conveniently serve the residents.
   E.   Manufacturing Zone (M-1): The purpose of this zone is to provide areas where industries necessary and beneficial to the local economy may locate and operate. The regulations of this zone are designed to protect and preserve the environment of this zone, adjacent areas and the entire Municipality. (Ord. 18-01, 1-16-2018)
