The R-120 residential district is an area of low density residential development. The minimum lot size requirement reflects the estate-like nature of the development in this area. The intent of this district is to maintain the large amounts of existing open space. For that reason, multifamily dwellings of new construction are not permitted. Other limiting factors on development in this district are the natural environment and the lack of adequate support services.
