Residential Multi-Family District

The Residential Multi-Family is the most dense of the residential districts and allows the broadest range of residential use types, include various forms of mixed-use development. The RMF district is typically configured as a single development on one or two lots, though are also some examples of multiple lot developments throughout the Town. Multi-family development is typically more dense than its immediate surroundings, and can also serve as an effective transition between single-family detached development and adjacent commercial or employment uses. Buildings in the RMF district tend to have shared site access, shared building access, common site features (like recreation space) owned in common, and centralized service functions. Residential densities are slightly higher for most forms of allowable residential development than is permitted in the other residential districts, though multi-family density is double that in the other residential districts. In addition to higher density development, the RMF districts allows a broad range of institutional uses and some low intensity neighborhood-serving non-residential uses to allow Town residents to take care of some of their daily needs without need of an automobile, should they desire to do so. Uses that are potentially detrimental to residential development and low density development comprised of uniform building types or styles are generally discouraged in the RMF district.
