Typical residential land uses include single-family bungalow courts, courtyard housing, townhomes, duplexes, triplexes, multiplexes, and other attached dwellings on smaller lots. The allowable residential density ranges from 5.1 to 30 dwelling units per acre, except that any property in the RM district that is also included on the Housing Element Table VI-50 or VI-51 shall require a minimum density of 20 dwelling units per acre. The RM zoning district is consistent with the Medium Density Neighborhood land use designation of the General Plan.
