RP
Planned Residential District
This District is intended to provide flexibility and encourage innovation and diversity in design of residential developments by allowing a wide range of densities and housing types while requiring provision of a substantial amount of restricted open space and other common amenities within new developments through implementation of the Planned Residential (R-P) land use designation set forth in the General Plan. Clustering of residential units is encouraged, where appropriate, to provide efficient use of space while preserving natural, cultural, and scenic resources of a site.
