Dwelling District Seven

The D-7 District is intended for medium density residential development, accommodating multifamily dwellings, triplex, fourplex, two-family and single-family attached dwellings. The District may be applied anywhere within the metropolitan area, provided, however, it should be closely associated with the primary intensity generators, such as commercial shopping centers or industrial employment centers. The District requires superior street access and all public utilities and facilities. Provisions for various modes of travel and pedestrian linkages are critical. Well-planned, on-site recreational facilities, selected to fit the site and residents' needs, must be developed to answer the demands of the higher density of residents. The D-7 District has a typical density of 12 to 15 units per gross acre fulfilling the medium density residential recommendation of the Comprehensive General Land Use Plan. Development plans 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.
