Low Density Residential District

The Low Density Residential District is intended for neighborhoods in the city consisting primarily of single-family homes on individual building lots. The Low Density Residential District is the least intense of three residential zoning districts with restrictions on the density and intensity of use to protect and enhance the character of neighborhoods. The average density in this district should not exceed 6 du's per acre; Development in Low Density Residential Districts should balance development needs with preservation of sensitive environmental features, and encourage clustering of development to preserve open space, take advantage of views, provide access to natural amenities, and minimize infrastructure costs. More compact development may be appropriate to minimize impacts to steep slopes, drainage areas, woodlands and other valued natural features.; While focused on detached single-family homes, the Low Density Residential District is intended to accommodate a variety of housing types, styles and sizes to provide diverse housing options and accommodate the range of age groups, lifestyles and economic levels within the community. The Low Density Residential District also accommodates civic, open space and other limited nonresidential uses which are designed to be integrated as part of a complete neighborhood. Low Density Residential Districts should be located and coordinated closely with Neighborhood Commercial Districts that provide convenient local access to shopping, services and amenities.
