R-3
Medium Density Residential District
The R-3, Medium Density Residential District, is established to provide for an environment of predominantly medium density apartments and congregate living arrangements, and single and two-family dwellings, along with directly related, complementary uses. It is intended that where an R-3, Medium Density Residential District directly abuts a zoning district of higher or lower density, a transition from existing uses to new uses be provided. Such transition may be accomplished by a continuation of similar uses to the extent possible given allowable uses within the district, landscape buffering as provided in Chapter 4, or both, as required by the City in conjunction with plat approval.
Permitted uses
