Updated January 2025 – Gem Lake Consolidated Land Use Ordinance No. 131 24
<br />
<br />SECTION 8. LOW DENSITY “RS” RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT
<br />The existing structures within this zoning district are single family homes found primarily along the edges of the City of Gem Lake.
<br />This district is almost fully developed with single family homes and the Gem Lake Comprehensive plan does not project or assu me
<br />any gains in housing units from this Zoning area. It is expected that any new residential construction or re-development in this district
<br />would continue to be built with a density of approximately one (1) residential unit per acre to maintain the visual feel of the area and
<br />the value of the existing homes.
<br />
<br />It is possible that additional areas, along the perimeter major thoroughfares and along the edges of the “RE” and “RX” zoning
<br />districts, could be zoned as “RS” districts to provide diversity of housing. There are also lots within this district that wo uld allow re-
<br />development if multiple adjacent parcels are combined and existing structures moved or demolished. The combined land could th en
<br />be subdivided in smaller lots.
<br />
<br />If further residences are added in this district, master planning, clustering and similar concepts need to would be used to m aximize
<br />the benefits from community resources such as municipal water and sanitary sewer. (Refer to pages 5-6, 5.21 and 5-23 of the Germ
<br />Lake 2008 Comprehensive plan for the source of the above details)
