The purpose of the R-5S, R-8S and R-10S residential districts is to preserve the existing character of both newly planned and existing single-family residential areas in order to promote and to enhance the quality of life and environmental attributes which are essential parts of the city. The uses permitted in these districts are limited primarily to single-family residential, with selected nonresidential uses which provide a service to the residents of an area or which, by their nature, require a residential environment. Multifamily developments, therefore, are incompatible because they generate an undue concentration of population and increased traffic which alter the predominantly single-family residential character of these areas. The following uses, standards and area regulations were developed based upon this purpose.
