Medium Density Residential District

The MR-1 district is intended to be located in areas designated urban residential 2 or suburban on the future land use map of the comprehensive plan, in close proximity to more intensive non-residential uses, including commercial and office uses; and to residentially compatible public facilities such as schools, parks, and transit facilities. The MR-1 district is intended to achieve densities consistent with urban development, use of public transit, and efficient use of public infrastructure. Off-street parking facilities in the MR-1 district shall be located and designed to promote convenient access to pedestrian and mass transit facilities. The MR-1 district shall provide for a wide range of residential housing types. The maximum gross density allowed for new residential development in the MR-1 district is 20 dwelling units per acre, while the minimum gross density allowed is eight dwelling units per acre, unless constraints of concurrency or preservation and/or conservation features preclude the attainment of the minimum densities. Certain community and recreational facilities related to residential uses and day care centers are also permitted.
