12-230: R-3 GENERAL RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT:
This is a residential district to provide for medium and high population density. The principal use of land may range from single-family to multiple-family and garden apartment uses. Certain uses which are more compatible functionally with intensive residential uses than with commercial uses are permitted. The recreational, religious and educational facilities normally required to provide an orderly and attractive residential area are permitted. Stability of property value, attractiveness, order and efficiency are encouraged by providing for adequate light, air and open space for dwelling and related facilities and through consideration of the proper functional relationship of each use permitted in the district. (Prior code § 16-13)
