Multiple-Family Residential District

Apartments and other multiple-family dwellings occupy but a small part of the corporate area of Cleveland Heights yet this type of use accommodates about one forth of the City's population. Three zoning districts have been designed to accommodate multiple-family residential uses at varying densities to offer a variety of living environments. Each district is structured to permit more than one principal building on a zoning lot: (a) The MF-1 District is established to provide for townhouses and garden-type apartments where buildings are low two stories and there is ample open space and parking on surface lots usually in the rear of the buildings. These are placed in the MF-1 District which has a minimum lot area per dwelling unit resulting in a density of approximately twelve dwelling units an acre.; (b) The MF-2 District is established to provide for medium density developments of approximately twenty-five dwelling units an acre.; (c) The MF-3 District is established to provide for very high density residential development in limited areas of Cleveland Heights. The standards for the MF-3 District permit development of approximately fifty-eight dwelling units per gross acre.
