R-1MH

The R-1, low density residential district is established for areas of the county within the urban service area with existing low-middle density residential development, with an average density of from 1 to 3 units per acre, and land which appears appropriate for such development. These areas are generally consistent with the neighborhood conservation land use category as recommended in the comprehensive plan. In addition, where surrounding development and the level of public services warrant, these areas coincide with the development category recommended in the plan. This district is intended to provide the highest degree of protection from potentially incompatible uses and residential development of a significantly different density, size, or scale, in order to maintain the health, safety, appearance and overall quality of life of existing and future neighborhoods. In addition to single family residences, only uses of a community nature which are generally deemed compatible are permitted in this district. This would include parks and playgrounds, schools and other similar neighborhood activities. The provisions of the MH Manufactured Housing Overlay District are designed to increase opportunities for affordable housing alternatives, to recognize modern advances in manufactured housing technology, and to promote cost effective site development. This overlay district provides locations where manufactured housing communities may harmoniously develop in residential areas in which a mix of other affordable housing types, multi family apartments, duplexes, townhouses, and compact detached housing, may also develop. Furthermore, this district provides for institutional support services, such as schools, churches, parks, and community clubs within residential neighborhoods, yet protects against the intrusion of incompatible commercial and industrial uses.
