5.11 Residential Zoning Districts| 5.11.1 AG Agricultural-Open Space District Ann Arbor Unified Development Code 11th Edition Page 17 In the event of an express conflict between the two sets of standards, the standards for the base zoning district shall control. 5.11 Residential Zoning Districts AG Agricultural-Open Space District This district is intended to preserve open areas and to provide a desirable environment in the City and to ensure that the benefits of open areas, light, air, and private recreational activities can exist in well-planned locations throughout the City; to provide areas where farming can exist in the City both as an industry and to preserve, for the residents of the City, examples of a lifestyle that is rapidly disappearing; and to control the proximity of these uses to other uses. R1A, R1B, R1C, R1D and R1E Single-Family Dwelling District A. These Single-Family Zoning Districts are intended to provide an environment of detached single-family dwellings, along with other related facilities that serve the residents in the district such as schools, recreational facilities, parks, and religious assembly. These districts should be convenient to commercial facilities in other zoning districts and to public transportation. B. These districts are intended to encourage the preservation and continuation of the longstanding residential fabric in existing neighborhoods of predominantly single-family dwellings, along with other related facilities that serve the residents in these districts. C. Accessory dwelling units are allowed to enable a new housing prototype that respects the look and character of single-family neighborhoods while: supporting more efficient use of existing housing stock and infrastructure; providing housing that responds to changing family needs, smaller households, and increasing housing costs; providing accessible housing for seniors and Persons with disabilities; and supporting affordable housing goals. D. Application of the R1D and R1E district may require a greater degree of services than the less dense Single-Family Zoning Districts. To assure health, safety and welfare, any future R1D and R1E zoning areas should be contingent upon the availability or provision of adequate public services to serve the higher densities permitted by that district, in addition to other pertinent planning considerations. R2A Two-Family Dwelling District This district is intended to provide residential areas in the City that are suitable for two-family dwellings.
