Purpose. The purpose of the R-5 Zone is to implement the Master Plan recommendation for a low-density suburban/rural transition area from the City center suburbs to the City greenbelt. The R-5 Zone provides an area for development of low-density single-family detached housing. Farms will continue to be permitted, and farmland preservation as part of the low-density residential area is encouraged and supported by the City. Residential cluster development and lot size averaging will be permitted at the City's option, provided that the total number of dwellings is equivalent to the number of dwellings allowed by a conventional layout. Cluster development and lot size averaging will only be allowed where the lots are served by sewer and public water and the reduction in lot size is offset by open space preservation and protection of the environment.
