• • B. "E -R" Expansion Residential District: Purpose. The purpose of this district is to allow for large lot, single-family residential development with on-site sewage disposal systems in areas which are planned to receive sewer sometime after 1990. Development will be encouraged to occur in such a manner as to not make it difficult to extend sewer into the area in the future. This transitional district is intended to provide limited opportunities for a low density, semi -rural, residential lifestyle for those who are willing to accept a lower level of urban and community service. Developments which do occur in this district prior to the availabi- lity of sewer will be designed for future resubdivision so as to permit economical installation of sewer at a later date. "R-1" Single -Family Residential District: Purpose. This district is intended to provide a residential atmos- phere for those persons desiring a single-family neighborhood with a suburban density. The area is intended for development of single- family detached homes on lots with public sewer and water. "R-2" Two -Family District: Purpose. This district is intended to provide a residential atmos- phere for those persons desiring a two-family dwelling with a more urban, but limited, density. Two-family dwellings will not be allowed in areas without sanitary sewer. "R-3" Medium Density Residential District: Purpose. The purpose of the R-3 Medium Density Residential District is to provide settings for multiple -family structures up to eight dwelling units per building in areas having good thoroughfare access, are properly located to other uses and are accessible to major acti- vity center, recreation areas and shopping areas. "R-4" High Density Residential District: Purpose. The purpose of the R-4 High Density Residential Districts is to provide settings for multiple -family housing in areas having good thoroughfare access, proper relationship to other uses and are accessible to major activity center, recreation areas and shopping areas. "R-5" Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) District: Purpose. The intent of the PUD district is to permit greater flexi- bility and, consequently, more creative and imaginative design for the development of residential, commercial or industrial areas than are generally possible under conventional zoning regulations. It is further intended to promote more economical and efficient use of the land while providing a harmonious variety of housing choices, a higher level of urban amenities, and preservation of natural scenic qualities of open space. -5-
