The amendment also provided another alternative to the residential development of the property other than the existing rural residential 2 acre minimum lot size.

The R-lA zoning district will allow only detached single family residential development. E) In a preliminary report, the City Engineer confirmed that sanitary sewer can be provided to the property.
