Residential Suburban Districts
The RS Districts are established to provide for orderly suburban residential development and redevelopment. A limited number of nonresidential uses are allowed, subject to the restrictions necessary to preserve the character of the suburban neighborhood. Multifamily development is permitted in areas designated RS-M, which should have convenient access to arterial streets and nearby civic, commercial or employment uses. The RS Districts are used to implement the Comprehensive Plan within those areas shown as the Suburban Tier and within Rural Villages (as designated in the Comprehensive Plan) within the Rural Tier.
