This designation strongly reflects the current pattern of residential use in the city. The district primarily includes single-family detached units, but also allows for single-family attached dwellings and multiple-family housing. This core residential area also supports institutional and public uses. Densities of four to six dwelling units per acre are common and anticipated to continue into future development of these lands. In some areas, it may be appropriate to develop multi-family housing at densities greater than six units per acre. Some portions of this district may be appropriate for lot splits, subdivision redevelopment or infill development. There are some areas of the residential district where limited commercial uses such as small retail (“corner stores”) or offices are appropriate with special use permits.
