Residential Districts
Descri Lions and Pur ores
9.308 RA Suburban Residential District. The RA Suburban Residential
District is designed to create a semi-rural environment within
which certain 1 i mi ted agricultural pursuits are carried on i n con j uncti an
with, or in close proximity to, subdivisions and planned unit developments,
containing non-farm dwellings. It is the further intent to have key urban
services and facilities available within this district.
9.322 R-1 Low Density Residential District. The R-1 Law Density Resi-
dential District is an urban classification intended primarily for
low density, urban housing to which key urban services and facilities can be
provided. This district is not limited to single family detached dwellings,
although that residential type is most typical.

outstripped by the permitted density. Certain limited commercial uses are
allowed conditionally in the R-4 district to serve the needs of the denser
population.
