The Village of Millersburg desires to promote a diverse range of housing opportunities, including but not limited to affordable housing, within the Village. Promoting housing diversity includes providing for particular areas at higher residential density typically associated with more urban areas. Apartments, condominiums and manufactured home developments are uses typically associated with such areas. These higher density areas have unique development characteristics that require special treatment in regard to standards, placement and land use compatibility.
The Urban Residential (R-4) District is established to provide for such areas of higher residential density while encouraging a desirable residential environment, protected from adverse influences, with adequate access for vehicular traffic and circulation. These residential communities shall be developed and located so as to not promote excessive vehicular traffic on streets in adjoining residential areas, and shall provide overall desirability equivalent to that for other forms of residential development.
