The one-family residential districts are established as districts in which the principal use of land is for one-family dwellings. For the one-family residential districts, in promoting the general purpose of this ordinance, the specific intent is:

1.

To encourage the construction of, and the continued use of the land for one-family dwellings.

2.

To prohibit business, commercial or industrial use of the land, and to prohibit any other use which would substantially interfere with development or continuation of one-family dwellings in the district.

3.

To encourage the discontinuance of existing uses that would not be permitted as new uses under the provisions of this ordinance.

4.

To discourage any land use which would generate traffic on minor or local streets other than normal traffic to serve the residences on those streets.

5.

To discourage any use which, because of its character or size, would create requirements and costs for public services, such as fire and police protection, water supply and sewerage, substantially in excess of such requirements and costs if the district were developed solely for one-family dwellings.

In a one-family residential district, no building or land shall be used and no building shall be erected except for one or more of the following specified uses unless otherwise provided in this ordinance:

1.

One-family detached dwellings in accordance with section 1300.

2.

Publicly owned and operated parks, parkways and recreational facilities.

3.

Cemeteries which lawfully occupied land at the time of adoption of this ordinance.

4.

Public, parochial and other private schools offering courses in general education and not operated for profit.

5.

Home occupation in accordance with section 1415.

6.

7.

Accessory buildings and uses, customarily incident to any of the above permitted uses.
