Del Norte County Municipal Code § 21.19 R-1 One-Family Residence District 21.19.10 Intent 21.19.20 The Principal…

The regulations of this district are designed to protect the residential qualities of high density single-family residences to the exclusion of other uses which may be detrimental to the orderly development of single-family urban areas. Lot sizes suitable for building are dependent on the availability of public water and sewage systems with the minimum of seven thousand two hundred square feet permitted only where one or both systems are available.
