The R-4 Residential District is intended to accommodate a variety of housing types suited to the various lifestyles of individuals and families, particularly those residing within neighborhoods relatively near the central area of the City.
Zoning provisions within this District recognize the establishment of single-family homes upon small residential lots. Also recognized is the existence of larger homes which have been or can be converted from single-family to two-family, or, in some cases, multifamily, to allow the owner to extend the economic life of these structures as well as justify the expenditure for rehabilitation and modernization. Medium density garden- type and townhouse multifamily development is also accommodated within this District. (Ord. 2712. Passed 8-1-78.)
