Multiple Family Residential District

The R-3 Multiple Family Residential districts provide areas for medium to high density one and two family residential dwelling units mixed with a variety of multiple family residential dwelling types, including apartments and group housing, where adequate public facilities and services exist with capacity to serve such development. The districts are composed mainly of areas containing an existing mix of these dwelling types as well as areas within which such development appears likely and desirable. They are intended to encourage more intensive development in and near the core areas of the township. The R-3 districts are designed to encourage a suitable neighborhood environment for family life by including among the permitted uses such facilities as schools, places of worship and parks that will promote a sense of community, urban vitality and the efficient provision of infrastructure. R-3 district regulations are designed to allow for market and design flexibility while preserving the neighborhood character and permitting applicants to cluster development to preserve environmentally sensitive and natural land areas.
