Dwelling District Four
The D-4 District is intended for low or medium intensity single-family and two-family residential development. Land in this District needs good thoroughfare access, relatively flat topography, and nearby community and neighborhood services and facilities with pedestrian linkages. Provisions for recreational facilities serving the neighborhood within walking distance are vitally important. Trees fulfill an important cooling and drainage role for the individual lots in this District. The D-4 District has a typical density of 4.2 units per gross acre. This District fulfills the low density residential classification of the Comprehensive General Land Use Plan. All public utilities and facilities must be present. Development plans, which may include the use of clustering, should incorporate and promote environmental and aesthetic considerations, working within the constraints and advantages presented by existing site conditions, including vegetation, topography, drainage and wildlife.
