Medium-Density Multifamily Residential District

The R-MD district is intended to accommodate multifamily developments at densities up to approximately 29 units per acre, and would accommodate typical garden apartment development. This district is intended to serve as a transition between major streets or commercial areas and lower density residential areas. This district is intended for areas that have access for vehicular traffic from collector or higher classification streets without traversing minor streets in adjoining residential neighborhoods. New single-family dwellings are not permitted to ensure that vacant land set aside for multifamily development is not preempted by less intense development. Certain other structures and uses necessary to serve governmental, educational, religious, recreational, and other needs of neighborhoods are allowed as permitted or conditional uses subject to restrictions intended to preserve and protect the residential character of this district. Applications for residential use after August 27, 2007, shall include sufficient information for staff to complete analysis under the multifamily development location and design guidelines.
