(A) RM; Multiple-Family Residential Districts. The Multiple-Family Residential Districts are designed to provide sites for multiple-family dwellings and related uses, 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.
