(A) This subchapter regulates allowed land uses in the residential zones ("uses") and sets forth lot and development standards, including minimum dimensions, area, density, coverage, structure height, and other provisions that control the intensity, scale, and location of development. The regulations of this chapter are intended to implement the City of Banks Comprehensive Plan and the purposes of this Code, per §§ 151.001 and 151.002.
(B) The intent and purpose of each residential zone is described as follows:
(1) The Residential Estate (RE) zone is intended to provide for low-density single family residential uses on large parcels at a density of 2.9 to 5.9 dwellings per net acre.
(2) The Low Density Residential (LDR) zone is intended to provide primarily single-family detached and duplex dwellings at a density of 6.0 to 7.9 dwellings per net acre.
(3) The Medium Density Residential-Low (MDR-L) zone is intended to provide for a blend of detached and attached single-family housing units with limited multi-family housing types at a density of 8.0 to 12.9 dwellings per net acre.
(4) The Medium Density Residential-High (MDR-H) zone is intended to provide for a blend of detached and attached single-family housing units and multi-family housing types at a density of 13.0 to 16.9 dwellings per net acre.
(5) The High Density Residential (HDR) zone is intended to provide for a broad range of housing types at a density of 17.0 to 30.0 dwellings per net acre. The HDR zone also provides opportunities for a limited amount of neighborhood-scale commercial uses.
(6) Mixed-Use (MU) zone is intended to provide a mix of medium density residential uses together with small to medium scale retail commercial and civic uses that emphasize a pedestrian environment.
