    16.20.020.5.3. Neighborhood Suburban Estate (NS-E).

    The NS-E district is the least dense of the NS districts. Single-family homes are the principal use; however, accessory dwelling units are allowed on the same lot as the principal residence with a maximum density of two units per acre. These homes generally exhibit an exceptionally high level of architecture and are on some of the largest single-family lots in the City.
