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.
