High Density Residential District

The purpose of the High Density Residential District is to provide for high density residential uses on smaller lots or in multiple dwelling unit structures where access to the public transportation network, public water supply and an appropriate means of wastewater treatment and disposal can be made available to support development at high densities. The principal use of land is for residential structures normally associated with higher population densities including apartments, townhouses, garden homes, mobile home parks, manufactured housing subdivisions and the like. Related recreational, religious and educational facilities normally required to provide the basic elements of a balanced and attractive residential area are also permitted. These areas are intended to be well defined and protected from the encroachment of uses not performing a function appropriate to the residential environment. Internal stability, attractiveness, order and efficiency are encouraged by providing for adequate light, air, open space for dwellings and related facilities and through consideration of the proper functional relationships of each element.
