The village's residential zoning districts are primarily intended to create, maintain, and promote a variety of housing opportunities for individual households and to maintain and promote the desired physical character of residential neighborhoods in accordance with the comprehensive plan. While the R districts primarily accommodate residential uses, some nonresidential uses are also allowed. The R-1 through R-5 districts are primarily differentiated on the basis of allowed building types and lot and building regulations. The R-6 district is primarily intended to accommodate assisted living communities and may be applied to small areas throughout the village.
