10.12.010 Purpose.
The one-family residential (R-1) zoning district is established to provide for mixed-use housing types, which include single-family, duplexes, and townhouses. Residential development in this zone is limited by a density of five dwelling units per gross acre, the underlying zoning district development standards, and the availability of urban governmental services or their potential extension by the proponent to facilitate development at no public cost.
Specifically, the intent of this district is to:
(1) Provide for an orderly, phased transition from vacant or partially developed land to mixed residential development as defined above;
(2) Facilitate coordinated and collaborative public infrastructure investment;
(3) Require individual lot connections to municipal water and sewer systems;
(4) Require developments to meet the city's minimum urban development standards;
(5) Particular emphasis shall be given to ensuring that R-1 uses and land divisions will facilitate future urban development and extension of utilities. (Ord. 2046, § 2 (Exh. A), 2018; Ord. 1634, § 51, 2004.)
