High-Density/Multi-Family District

These districts are designed to provide suitable areas for single-family, two-family and multi-family residential development within areas that are predominantly located at crossroads and along major transportation routes. Residential developments will consist of single-family, two-family dwellings, patio homes, condominiums, townhouses or apartments, and other structures as are accessory, thereto. Rental dwellings, such as apartments, duplexes, and townhouses shall not be permitted in R-3B districts. The R-3A district allows for high-density single-family and/or multi-family dwellings whereas the R-3B district only allows for high-density single-family dwellings. The level of water service available within these districts shall be adequate to provide potable water and fire protection. These districts also include community facilities, public utilities, and open uses that serve specifically the residents of these districts without creating objectionable or undesirable influences upon residential developments. Further, it is the intent of this resolution that these districts be located so that the provision of appropriate urban services can be physically and economically facilitated. It is the express purpose of this resolution to exclude from these districts all buildings or other structures and uses having commercial characteristics, whether operated for profit or otherwise, except that uses on review, with supplemental provisions, and home occupations specifically provided by these regulations for these districts shall be considered as not having such characteristics if they otherwise conform to the provisions of this resolution.
