(a)

The provisions of this section apply to the R-1 district. The R-1, Low Density Residential District is established to provide areas for single-family residential development and to limit and prohibit business, commercial or industrial use of land in the said district, except special land uses which are determined to be appropriate for neighborhood and residential services, and which do not adversely affect the character of the district.

It is further the purpose of the R-1 district to minimize and discourage traffic other than that necessary to service residences, and to limit the need for public services to those required in orderly residential areas.
