RESOURCE MANAGEMENT OVERLAY
Residential Multi-Family Medium Density District
It is the intent of the RM-8 Residential Multi-Family Medium Density District to permit a full range of medium density multi-family housing types along with single-family detached and attached residences. This district is intended to provide a transitional area between high density single-family and multi-family areas, and to permit medium density multi-family development in areas where existing conditions make higher density development inappropriate. Non-residential development normally required to provide the basic elements of a balanced and attractive residential area is also permitted.
