The R-1 Single-Family Dwelling District is the most restrictive residential district. The principal use is the single-family dwelling and related recreational, religious and educational facilities normally required to provide an orderly and attractive residential area. These residential areas are appropriate to the residential environment. Internal stability, attractiveness, order and efficiency are encouraged by providing for adequate light, air, and open space for dwelling and related facilities and through consideration of the proper functional relationship of the different uses.
