A.

The R-1, one-family residence district classification is intended to be applied in areas where topography, access, utilities and public services make the land suitable and desirable for single-family home development, and where the regulations of this classification will supply the necessary protection for such development. This district classification is consistent with the urban residential land use designation or category of the development pattern and community organization element of the county general plan. This district classification is also consistent with the rural small lot and rural large lot land use designations with the application of the B combining district set out in Chapter 17.50 to restrict the maximum density to those permitted under the RS and RL classifications.

B.

The specific regulations set in this chapter and the general rules set forth in Chapter 17.08 shall apply in all R-1 districts.
