§ 166.04 Residential District Estate Family (R-1e)

AND DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT The section intends to protect existing agricultural and other non-intensive uses to prevent premature development and non-orderly encroachment of higher intensity urban uses and to help guide urban growth into suitable areas.
