§ 11. "SF-1" single-family residential district.

A.

Purpose. This zoning classification is the most restrictive of residential zones and should be applied in areas of larger lots, more contemporary subdivision design and layout, and for areas that are designed solely for residential uses. This zoning classification should be applied in areas of the city to conserve neighborhood character and value of buildings. It is not intended that this zoning district be the subject of major alterations except for a possible reclassification in minor areas for a less restrictive residential use for reasonable adjustments necessary for orderly development of vacant lots or the gradual transition from other districts.
