(A) The “R-2-A” and “R-2-B” two-family attached residence districts are established to stabilize and conserve existing neighborhoods that predominately consist of two-family dwellings. These districts are also intended to promote the development of comparable new areas in order to accommodate all persons desiring this type of residential environment. New development should be located in areas served by publicly-provided sanitary sewer and water.
(B) The “R-3” district is intended only for preexisting “R-3” zoning and shall permit as a lawful use only the specific zoning of property in effect on the effective date of this Code. After the effective date of this code, no new zoning ordinances shall authorize the “R-3” district without approval of a planned unit development. The “R-3” district regulations are provided herein to encourage well planned high-density residential development and planned mixed-use developments consisting of a variety of housing types, densities and styles pursuant to the planned district procedures provided in this chapter and the city’s Comprehensive Plan.
