Residential District
This district is intended to provide a generally stable residential use in areas of the city that are largely developed. With a gross density of generally three to five dwelling units per acre, this district permits single- and two-family dwellings and supportive community services, such as parks, playgrounds, schools, libraries, and places of religious assembly. It is intended that this district be limited to previously platted portions of the city already undergoing substantial development, thereby preserving existing low-density residential development.
