C. RESIDENTIAL-1 DU/ACRE (R-1):
The Residential-1 Dwelling Unit Per Net Acre Zone (R-1) is established to
provide and protect suitable environments for residential development of lands
characterized by pervasive critical areas where limited residential development
will not compromise critical areas. It is intended to implement the Low Density
Residential Comprehensive Plan designation. The zone provides for suburban
estate single family and clustered single family residential dwellings, at a
maximum density of one dwelling unit per net acre, and allows for small scale
farming associated with residential use. Density bonus provisions, of up to
eighteen (18) dwelling units per acre, are intended to allow assisted living to
develop with higher densities within the zone. It is further intended to protect
critical areas, provide separation between neighboring jurisdictions through
designation of urban separators as adopted by the Countywide Policies, and
prohibit the development of incompatible uses that may be detrimental to the
residential or natural environment. No minimum density is required.
