CHAPTER 2

- ZONING DISTRICTS; MAP

Sec. 5B-2-1. - Classification of zones.

For the purposes of this title the following zones are hereby established:

(a)

Residential Districts:

(1)

One-family dwelling district (R-1). The R-1 residential district zone is established to recognize areas presently existing or proposed for single-family dwellings. These suggested standards recognize the need for providing adequate space for buildings, open areas and off street parking.

(2)

General residence district (R-2). The R-2 general residence district zone is established to recognize areas presently existing or proposed for either single-family, two-family or multiple-family dwellings. These suggested standards recognize the need for properly regulated areas for higher density residential uses. The standards reflect the corresponding space requirements of higher density residential uses.

(b)

General business district (B-1). The B-1 general business district zone is established to permit various retail and related commercial uses to be located in proximity to one another so as to provide general compatibility in the business district.

(c)

Manufacturing district (M-1). The M-1 manufacturing district zone is established to protect the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare of the community by the proper allocation of land for industrial use. It is also the aim of the M-1 zone to protect and promote the economic base of the community by regulating manufacturing development in appropriate locations.

(d)

Agricultural district (Ag). The Ag district zone is established to preserve natural resources and agricultural land use and the historical rural setting of the village.
