RM
Multi-family Residential District
To provide opportunities for multi-family residential development in a well-designed environment at a density of 21 to 35 dwelling units per net acre. Additional density can be achieved through the approval of density bonuses and other incentives. The RM district is intended to be located in areas where higher traffic volumes and buildings can be accommodated. These developments should be located outside of single-family residential communities, and where services and transportation systems are adequate to serve the increased densities. The RM district is further intended to achieve design compatibility between new multi-family development and surrounding less intensive residential neighborhoods by establishing physical development standards and performance standards.
