Residential Multiple Unit Dwelling District

This is established as a District in which the principal use of land is for single family and multifamily dwellings. In promoting the general purposes of this Ordinance, the specific intent of this District is: to permit the construction of single family and multi-family dwellings and the continued use of the land for such purposes; to prohibit commercial and industrial use of the land and to prohibit any other use which would substantially interfere with development or continuation of single family and multi-family dwellings in the District; to encourage the discontinuance of existing uses which would not be permitted as new uses under the provisions of this District; to discourage any use which, because of its character or size, would create burdensome requirements and costs for public services, such as police and fire protection, water supply and waste collection, which would be substantially in excess of such requirements and costs if the District were developed solely for single family or multi-family dwellings; and; to discourage any use which would generate traffic on minor streets other than normal traffic to serve residents in those streets.
