Multifamily Residential District

While recognizing the presence of existing single-family detached dwellings within the boundaries of the B-1 Multifamily Residential District upon the date of adoption of the ordinance codified in this title, the requirements set forth in this chapter have been adopted in order to provide a land use buffer between commercial and detached single-family land uses, and between vehicular traffic along Green Bay Road and detached single-family land uses. Consequently, the district encourages the development of two-family, low-density multiple-family and, where appropriate, other limited land uses which are compatible with nearby detached single-family residential neighborhoods. To assure development of proper non-single-family uses within this district and the compatibility of such uses with nearby single-family neighborhoods, the requirements set forth in this chapter are further intended to foster development which exhibits a single-family residential character with regard to external architectural appearance, scale, materials, roof pitch, colors, landscaping and other detailing and site improvements.
