(A) General description. This residential district is intended to provide for both low and moderate population density. It is established as a district in which the principal uses of the land are for multi-family dwellings and similar higher density residential development. The intent is to encourage the development and the continued use of land for multi-family dwellings and to prohibit commercial and industrial uses or any other use which would substantially interfere with the development or continuation of multi-family dwellings in this district. It is further intended to discourage any use which would generate traffic or create congestion on the neighborhood streets other than the normal traffic which serves the multi-family dwelling or similar residential uses in this district and discourage any use which, because of its characteristics or size, would create additional requirements and costs for public services which are in excess of such requirements and costs if the district were developed solely for multi-family or other similar residential uses.
