RD
Duplex Residential District
To accommodate more intensive forms of residential development, including duplexes, townhouse projects, apartments, and small-lot, single family residential uses, at a density of 11 to 20 dwelling units per net acre. The RD district is intended to provide greater housing choice in the city for different family sizes and incomes. The RD district is also intended to be located closer to community and retail services than RS zones, such as neighborhood shopping centers, and near minor and major collector streets where greater access can be provided. These areas should also be adequately served by parks and open space.
