Small Lot Residential District
To provide for areas of high density, detached single-family residential uses; to recognize and protect the small lot size, street grid based and highly pedestrian character of the historic areas of the city; to reinforce the traditional residential development pattern characteristic of the city’s modern neighborhoods and subdivisions; to permit compatible accessory uses which normally complement a balanced and attractive residential area; to stabilize and protect owner-occupied housing and encourage a suitable environment for family life; and to protect medium density, single family residential areas from encroachment of higher density residential and non-residential uses.
