R-A. Agricultural Residential. The R-A, Agricultural Residential district is to provide for low-density, single-family residential communities. The R-A district provides space on the fringes of the developed areas of the City for low-density residential and similar non-intensive uses, such as low intensity agricultural.

B.

R-1. Single-family. The R-1, Single-family Residential district is to consist primarily of single-family dwellings and related recreational, religious and educational facilities normally required to provide the basic elements of a balanced and attractive residential area. These areas are intended to be defined and protected from the encroachment of uses not performing a function necessary to the residential environment. Internal stability, attractiveness, order and efficiency is encouraged by providing for adequate light, air and open space for dwellings and related facilities and through consideration of the proper functional relationship of each element.

C.

R-2. Two-family. The R-2, Two-family Residential district accommodates two-family dwellings to provide for a slightly higher population density but to secure such characteristics as outlined in the R-1, Single-family Residential district. This district is generally located adjacent to the higher density multifamily districts and provides a transition to lower density R-1 Single-family Residential district.

D.

R-3. Townhouse. The R-3, Townhouse Residential district, is to provide for a range of housing, primarily consisting of three or more individual dwelling units arranged side-by-side, offering a transition between less intense single- and two-family development and more intense multifamily or commercial uses.

E.

R-4. Multifamily. The R-4, Multifamily Residential district is to provide for medium to high population density in townhome and multi-family dwellings. The district is generally located adjacent to the commercial districts and permits a transition to other residential districts.

F.

R-5. Mobile Home. The R-5, Mobile Home residential district is to provide for an alternative living style and dwelling type to conventional single-family housing. The purpose of this district is to provide a grouping of home sites within the setting of a residential subdivision for mobile homes and manufactured housing units that are generally not compatible with conventional housing.
