The "RE" Single-Family Residential Estate District is established to identify and stabilize those geographic areas within the City of Pinellas Park that are appropriate for the development and maintenance of rural, country-like, single-family residential estates of at least one and one-quarter (1¼) net acres in size. Such areas are to be characterized by large open areas, single-family detached dwelling units and limited agricultural activities which do not create a detrimental effect on surrounding properties. This district is appropriate for areas designated on the Official Land Use Plan Map as Residential Suburban (RS) or Residential Low (RL).
