§ 154.032 RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS STANDARDS AND USES.

   (A)   Purpose.

      (1)   R-1 Low Density Single-Family District. The Low Density Single-Family District is intended to accommodate new residential subdivision development at densities of approximately two units per acre, along with related uses.

      (2)   R-2 Moderate Density Single-Family District. Moderate Density Single-Family District is intended to encompass some of the town's existing single family residential neighborhoods and accommodate new development at densities of about three units per acre.

      (3)   R-3 Medium Density Mixed Residential District. The Medium Density Mixed Residential District is intended to provide wider housing options at densities of up to six units per acre. The R-3 District lends itself to serving as a buffer or transitional zone between lower density residential and non-residential development. Single family dwellings, small-scale multifamily dwellings, and townhomes are permitted, along with compatible public, quasi-public and institutional uses.

      (4)   R-4 High Density Mixed Residential District. The High Density Mixed Residential District is similar in character and purpose to the R-3 District, but also permits multifamily dwellings. It allows development at higher densities than any other district. Residential densities of up to 12 units per acre are permitted in this district.

      (5)   R-5 Multi-Family Residential. The Multi-Family Residential District is intended to provide large-scale multifamily housing options at densities of up to 22 units per acre. This district is intended for large apartment complexes with over 100 units with vehicular access to arterial or collector streets. They can either front directly on the arterial or collector street or be located as a transitional land use between nonresidential uses and lower density residential zones.

   (B)   Lot requirements. See Image 2-1.
