Multi-Family Residential District

The RMF district is intended for application in those areas designated for multi-family/general residential development by the comprehensive plan. In accordance with direction provided by the plan, this district is designed to provide opportunities for higher density living arrangements with an orientation toward the rental market but not to the exclusion of single-family attached, owner-occupied housing types. As a high density development, this district can be expected to generate very intensive demands on public services and facilities and should be located accordingly. However, senior housing, which is permitted by special use permit, can be expected to generate lesser demands on most public facilities and services than would otherwise be the case on a per-unit basis for traditional general market multi-family development. Therefore, as set out in 24.1-411, opportunities are provided for the Board of Supervisors to authorize, on a case-by-case basis, the development of such senior housing projects at a higher density level than that applicable to general market multi-family residential development.
