The Roy City Zoning Districts are formulated to provide and achieve the following purposes:

1. Residential Estates District (RE-20 and RE-15). The Residential Estate District is provided to allow low density residential estates neighborhoods with a quality of openness and provide for certain rural amenities, on larger minimum lots. This district is intended to promote and preserve single-family residential development. The principal land use is single-family dwellings and incidental and accessory uses located in a semi-agricultural or rural environment.
2. Single-Family Residential (R-1-15, R-1-10, R-1-8, R-1-7, and R-1-6) Districts provide regulated areas for single-family residential use at five (5) different low-density levels. These Districts are provided to maintain and protect areas for single-family residential dwellings.
3. The purpose of the R-2 District is to accommodate a need for moderate density residential uses by providing opportunities for both single-family and two-family dwelling units.
4. The Residential R-3 District is provided to allow the establishment of a variety of dwelling unit types from single-family to multiple-family units with their associated necessary public services and activities. It is provided to facilitate the orderly transition from less intensive, lower density uses to more intensive, higher density uses.
5. The purpose of the R-4 & R-5 Districts is to provide higher density residential areas with their associated necessary public services and activities. It is also to provide an orderly transition from pure residential zones to mixed residential/professional and business office uses.
6. The purpose of the RMH-1 District provides appropriate areas for suitable development of Single-Family mobile home parks and/or recreational coach parks. It is also to ensure that such facilities receive adequate services and blend harmoniously with surrounding residential neighborhoods.
7. The Light Manufacturing (LM) District provides suitable areas adjacent to residential areas that will accommodate the need for light manufacturing, warehousing, and associated accessory uses. The Manufacturing (M) District provides potentially more intense uses for manufacturing in appropriate areas so as to strengthen the employment base and economic diversity of the City.
8. Special Purpose Districts. The Special Purpose Districts of Recreation (R), Residential Infill Overlay (RIO) and Airport Overlay (AO) are provided as independent and separate stand-alone Zoning Districts or Overlay Zoning Districts to meet specific needs and goals of the City as follows:
   1. Recreation (R). This District is provided to provide opportunities for recreational and open space uses, with their associated accessory uses.
   2. Residential Infill Overlay (RIO). This District is provided for remnant properties with limitations in complying with the development standards of the underlying zone. This zone shall be considered by the Commission and Council in compliance with the requirements of 10-8.
   3. Airport Overlay (AO). This District is established for the protection of the Airport and the surrounding land.
      
9. The Mixed Use (MU) zoning District is intended to provide a variety of land uses that are purposely combined. Mixed use areas are intended to support a broad range of commercial office, entertainment, recreational, civic and residential uses within a single building. It is intended to transform that areas into an attractive and active area with a sense of place that is unique to Roy.
