(A) Purpose and intent. It is the purpose and intent of this subchapter to provide for the design and development of innovative housing forms, which incorporate a higher density living situation and at the same time preserve the desirability of an individually owned housing unit. The efficient use of buildable space within a given area allows reduced lot sizes as well as lot widths and compensates for the reduction by incorporating open spaces, scenic and recreational areas, and other amenities.
(B) Standards. The standards included in this subchapter apply to a variety of attached and semi-attached housing forms including, but not limited to, townhouses. Specifically, this subchapter is formulated to allow the grouping of separately owned single-family dwelling units into a group of attached and semi-attached housing forms that will be both aesthetically pleasing and conscientiously designed as well as preserve the health, welfare, safety, and convenience of the surrounding neighborhood.
