(A) Intent. The M-l Multiple-family Residential Districts are a higher density residential district (no more than 8.68 units per acre) and are designed to provide sites for multiple-family dwelling structures and related uses
which will generally serve as zones of transition between non-residential districts and lower Density R-l, R-2, and R-3 Districts. The Multiple-Family Districts are further designed to serve the limited needs of apartment type units in an otherwise medium or low density single-family community. The M-l District allows for less density than the M-2 District.
