§ 1270.01  PURPOSE.
   Multifamily Dwelling Districts are established in order to achieve among others the following purposes:
   (a)   To provide for residential development at higher densities than for one and two family dwellings;
   (b)   To locate the development of multifamily dwellings close to community facilities and services;
   (c)   To protect the desirable characteristics of existing and planned residential development;
   (d)   To be accessible to existing and planned public water supply and sanitary sewers;
   (e)   To regulate density and distribution of population in accordance with a plan to avoid congestion;
   (f)   To provide protection from noxious fumes, odors, dust, excessive noises, invasion of abnormal vehicular traffic and other objectionable influences;
   (g)   To regulate multifamily development that will restrict overcrowding of the land and provide for proper light, air, privacy and usable open space; and
   (h)   To promote the most desirable and beneficial use of the land based upon the Comprehensive Plan.
