The purpose of the residential zone is to provide appropriate locations where residential neighborhoods 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.

"Accessory dwelling unit": An additional residential unit that is located on the same lot as a single-family dwelling unit, either internal to or attached to the single-family unit or in a detached structure, and which contains separate space, kitchen, and bathroom facilities.

"Density": A measure of the built or to-be built residential accommodation, being the number of dwellings situated on a unit of land.

"Disability": A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of a person's major life activities, including a person having a history or record of such an impairment or a person who is perceived or regarded as having such an impairment.

"Duplex": A multi-family home with two units and two sets of tenants, one living in each side. A duplex has one owner that is responsible for renting out and maintaining the entire property.

"Institutional Care Center": An assisted living facility or any type, as defined by the Utah State Department of Health and Human Services, that is not a residential facility nor contained within a residential dwelling unit of a type authorized by the applicable zoning regulations.

"Intensity": The impact of a land use type on the land, e.g. apartment complexes are a high intensity land use while single-family residential is not.

"Overlay zoning district": A zoning district which is applied over one or more previously established zoning districts, establishing additional standards and criteria for covered properties in addition to those of the underlying zoning district; used to protect special features such as housing along transit corridors or historic buildings. Similar properties access to the government or public at large.

"Public": In reference to ownership, indicates that a facility or parcel of land is held and controlled by a government entity or is part of an easement or access that provides access to the government or public at large.

"Residential facility for persons with disabilities": A single-family home or other residential dwelling unit in which more than one person with a disability resides and that is subject to regulation or licensure by the Utah State Department of Health and Human Services.

"Semipublic": Having some features of a public institution and open to some persons outside the regular constituency.

"Single-family dwelling": A free-standing building designed to be occupied by one family, the structure having only one dwelling unit.

"Stacked multi-family dwelling": Units are "stacked" on top of each other (multi-story).

"Setback": The required separation between a lot line (and/or right-of-way line) and a building or structure line, within which a building or structure is prohibited. Setbacks prevent landowners from crowding the property of others and allow for the safe placement of utilities.

"Townhome": A single-family home that shares one or more walls with other independently-owned units; there are typically three or more units in a row.

"Twin home": A multi-family home with two units, technically classified as single-family homes sharing a wall. Each owner owns their portion of the house and the lot underneath it.

The purpose of the Residential Zoning Districts (R) are to provide appropriate locations where residential neighborhoods may be established, maintained, and protected. The regulations also permit the establishment of, with proper controls, public and semipublic uses such as churches, schools, libraries, parks and playgrounds, which serve the requirements of families. The regulations are intended to separate residential developments by intensity and prohibit those uses that would be harmful to a residential neighborhood.
