The R-1 single-family residential district is established as a district in which the use of the land is for single-family dwellings except as noted. It is the purpose and intent of this district to promote the development of and the continued use of the land for single-family dwellings and to prohibit commercial and industrial uses or any other use which would substantially interfere with the development or continuation of single-family dwellings in this district. The intent is to further discourage any use in this district which would generate traffic or create congestion on neighborhood streets other than the normal traffic which serves the residents in the area. This district further encourages only those uses which, because of character or size, would not create additional requirements and costs for public services which are in excess of such requirements and costs if the district were not developed solely for single-family dwellings. (Ord., 11-1-1983)

The following uses are permitted in an R-1 single-family residential district, and are subject to all the general provisions and regulations of this title:

This residential district is intended to provide for both low and moderate population density. It is established as a district in which the principal uses of the land are for multi-family dwellings and similar higher density residential development. The intent is to encourage the development and the continued use of land for multi-family dwellings and to prohibit commercial and industrial uses or any other use which would substantially interfere with the development or continuation of multi-family dwellings in this district. It is further intended to discourage any use which would generate traffic or create congestion on the neighborhood streets other than the normal traffic which serves the multi-family dwelling or similar residential uses in this district and discourage any use which, because of its characteristics or size, would create additional requirements and costs for public services which are in excess of such requirements and costs if the district were developed solely for multi-family or other similar residential uses.
