Residential Single-Family Attached-5
The RSA, Residential Single-Family Attached districts are primarily intended to accommodate attached and semi-detached houses on individual lots, but may be applied in areas characterized by a mix of housing types, including detached houses. The districts are also intended to provide a density transition between RSD districts and RM districts. The Zoning Code includes five RSA districts that are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements.
