ARTICLE VIII. RM-2 MULTIPLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT
§ 82-166 INTENT.
   The RM-2 Multiple-Family Residential Districts are designed to provide sites for higher density multiple-family dwelling structures, and related uses, which will be located in the proximity of the central downtown business district of the city. The RM-2 districts are further provided to serve the limited needs of the apartment type of unit in an otherwise low density, single-family community.

§ 82-167 PRINCIPAL PERMITTED USES.
   In an RM-2 Multiple-Family Residential District, no building or land shall be used and no building shall be erected except for 1 or more of the following specified uses, unless otherwise provided in this chapter.
      (1)   All principal uses permitted and all conditional uses as regulated in the one-family and two-family residential districts, with lot area, yards and floor area requirements for single-family dwellings equal to at least the requirements of the immediately abutting residential district of least density.
      (2)   Multiple-family dwellings.
      (3)   Accessory buildings and uses customarily incidental to any of the permitted uses listed in this section.
(1993 Code, § 82-167) (Ord. passed 10-12-1992)
§ 82-168 CONDITIONAL USES.
   The following uses may be permitted in an RM-2 Multiple-Family Residential District upon the granting of a permit for such use by the Planning Commission: all conditional uses permitted and as regulated in the RM-1 Multiple-Family Residential District.
(1993 Code, § 82-168) (Ord. passed 10-12-1992)
§ 82-169 REQUIRED CONDITIONS.
   (A)   All dwelling units in an RM-2 Multiple- Family Residential District shall be reviewed by the Building Official subject to the following conditions.
      (1)   Dwelling units shall conform to all applicable city codes and ordinances. Any such local requirements are not intended to abridge applicable state or federal requirements with respect to the construction of the dwelling.
      (2)   Dwelling units shall be permanently attached to a perimeter foundation. In instances where the applicant elects to set the dwelling on piers or other acceptable foundations which are not at the perimeter of the dwelling, then a perimeter wall shall also be constructed. Any such perimeter wall shall be constructed of durable materials and shall also meet all local requirements with respect to materials, construction and necessary foundations below the frost line. Any such wall shall also provide an appearance which is compatible with the dwelling and other homes in the area.
      (3)   Dwelling units shall be provided with exterior finish materials similar to the dwelling units on adjacent properties or in the surrounding residential neighborhood.
      (4)   Dwelling units shall be provided with roof designs and roofing materials similar to the dwelling units on adjacent properties or in the surrounding residential neighborhood.
      (5)   Dwelling units shall be provided with an exterior building wall configuration which represents an average width to depth or depth to width ratio which does not exceed 3 to 1, or is in reasonable conformity with the configuration of dwelling units on adjacent properties or in the surrounding residential neighborhood.
      (6)   The dwelling shall contain storage capability in a basement located under the dwelling, in an attic area, in closet areas, or in a separate structure of standard construction similar to or of better quality than the principal dwelling, which storage area shall be equal to 10% of the square footage of the dwelling or 100 square feet, whichever shall be less.
   (B)   The Building Official may request a review by the Planning Commission of any dwelling unit with respect to subsections (A)(3), (a)(4) and (a)(5) of this section. The Building Official or Planning Commission shall not seek to discourage architectural variation, but shall seek to promote the reasonable compatibility of the character of dwelling units, thereby protecting the economic welfare and property value of surrounding residential uses and the city at large. In reviewing any such proposed dwelling unit, the Building Official may require the applicant to furnish such plans, elevations and similar documentation as it deems necessary to permit a complete review and evaluation of the proposal. When comparing the proposed dwelling unit to similar types of dwelling areas, consideration shall be given to comparable types of homes within 300 feet. If the area within 300 feet does not contain any such homes, then the nearest 25 similar type dwellings shall be considered.
(1993 Code, § 82-169) (Ord. passed 10-12-1992)
