It is the purpose of the R-3 District to achieve the same character, stability and soundness of residential environment as intended for achievement by the regulations in the medium density residential district. The only essential difference between the R-2 and R-3 Districts is that a higher density of population is permitted and a wider variety of building types will be permitted as a matter of right in the R-3 District. The district is applied to those areas within the city which are particularly suited for higher population density because of their central location, present high density development, and high degree of public services and transportation facilities available.
