ARTICLE VII. RM-1 MULTIPLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT
The RM-1 Multiple-Family Residential Districts are designed to provide sites for low-rise multiple- family dwelling structures which are similar in terms of use and structural character to single-family dwellings and which will generally serve as zones of transition between the nonresidential districts and the lower density one-family residential districts. The multiple-family districts are further provided to serve the limited needs for the apartment type of unit in an otherwise low density, single-family community.
