The residential multifamily district is intended to provide areas for residential neighborhoods of single-family dwellings, multiple single-family dwellings on one lot, halfplexes, duplexes, apartments, and other multiple-family attached dwelling units such as condominiums. It is intended that new development in this district utilize innovative site planning, provide on-site recreational amenities and be located near major community facilities, business centers, and/or major streets. The purpose of the design review (-Dc, -Dh, -Ds) combining districts is to provide special regulations to protect and enhance the aesthetic character of lands and buildings within public view; to protect historic buildings; to minimize any adverse impacts of conflicting land uses; to enhance tourism through the protection of lands and buildings having unique aesthetic characteristics; and to provide special project review procedures for lands and uses which by their nature require special attention to architectural design and massing, landscaping, circulation, and/or energy conservation. The purpose of the aircraft overflight (-AO) combining district is to regulate land uses in the vicinity of public airports and below areas where aircraft perform approach and departure maneuvers, recognizing that certain land uses and site development characteristics may conflict with the safe and efficient operation of airports and aircraft.
