Medium Density Multiple-Family Residential District

The purpose of this district is to provide for residential development at a medium population density. The provisions of this district are intended to recognize that a certain amount of flexibility in multiple-family living is desirable and the district is designed to complement the requirements of the low and high density multiple-family districts. The provisions of this district are intended to provide for sites in logical locations after consideration of such factors as the following: the capacity and character of adjoining streets; the nature of surrounding uses; the nearness to large concentrations of employment such as the university; or where a substantial amount of primarily vacant land exists or where smaller individual parcels of land can be feasibly assembled to form a single, larger parcel suitable for multiple-family apartments. It is intended that this district accommodate a compatible development of residential use at a higher density than single-family, but no lower standards of quality. Attractiveness, order, and efficiency are encouraged by providing for adequate light, air, and usable open space for dwellings and related facilities and through consideration of the proper functional relationship to each permitted use in this district.
