R-8
Rowhouse Residential District
Neighborhoods: The R-8 Rowhouse Residential Zoning District is intended to accommodate and maintain the traditional form of urban rowhouse development typical of many of the City's inner neighborhoods, which contain continuous, block-long rowhouse development built to or only modestly set back from the street.; Housing types: Although rowhouse is the predominant housing type, this district also accommodates other residential types, of a similar density, including detached and semi-detached dwellings, and multi-family developments of a larger scale than found in more restrictive zoning districts.
