(A) The R-6 Multi-Family Residential District is intended to emphasize a high-density district similar to Albemarle's oldest neighborhoods, areas adjacent to downtown and in close proximity to its neighborhood and commercial centers. The district remains residential in character, but allows for a broad range of housing types and densities allowing for easy access to amenities and services and a community for those persons desiring small residences and multi-family structures in relatively high-density, but functional neighborhoods.
(B) The following uses are permitted.
(1) All uses permitted in the R-8 Residential District, including special uses subject to City Council approval.
(2) Multi-family dwellings; provided, however, that the site plan for eight or more multi-family units must be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board and approved and City Council; that two driveways are required where property fronts on two public streets or is deemed otherwise necessary; and that a traffic study is required for all properties over four acres lying in R-6 District.
(C) The following additional special uses are permitted subject to city Council approval.
(1) Bed and breakfast homes when located not less than 500 feet from the same use.
(2) Battered group care facilities.
(3) Fraternity and sorority houses when located not less than 500 feet from the same use.
(D) Unless otherwise provided herein, all uses and structures shall comply with the area, yard and height requirements of this chapter. When not expressly stated herein or otherwise determined by Board approval, all principal uses and structures in this section requiring special use approval shall use area, yard and height requirements of the least intense by-right use.
