Multi-Family-Residential District

The M-R Multifamily Residential District is established to provide a location for attached units with densities of 10 to 14 units per acre. Multifamily development includes duplexes, triplexes, apartments of 4 units or more, townhomes, condominiums, and manufactured home parks. The M-R district is designed for areas served by publicly provided sanitary sewer.; The M-R District is intended to accommodate higher density attached residential development that blends easily with nearby single-family units. M-R District developments such as duplexes, triplexes, townhomes, and low density apartment complexes are considered appropriate in proximity to the S-R and T-R residential districts, if effectively sited, landscaped, buffered, and adequate provisions for access and open space are made.; A wide range of multifamily densities and dwelling types may also be appropriate in large-scale mixed use developments or as a residential re-use option in obsolete commercial centers.; Manufactured home parks are allowed as an M-R District use with restrictions, but are not considered appropriate options in proximity to a single-family subdivision development or as re-use options for commercial properties.; A residential cluster option is a use allowed by Special Use Permit with restrictions in the M-R District, but must meet all development standards and criteria for a multi-family residential development.
