RM15
Residential, Multi-Dwelling District
The primary purpose of the RM districts is to accommodate the development of multi-unit housing i.e., more than one dwelling unit per lot. The districts are intended to create, maintain and promote a mix of housing opportunities for City residents. RM-15C. The RM-15C district is intended to protect and enhance those areas developed or likely to develop with medium-density, multiple-family dwellings close to institutions of higher education. The district regulations are designed to promote a suitable environment for a variety of residential types and provide regulations to address increased off-street parking needs, ensure building designs that are compatible with a campus community and prevent overcrowding. The RM-15C district has higher parking requirements for multifamily dwellings, to reflect the generally higher occupancy of such units near institutions of higher education.
