1143.07 R-8 PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT; PURPOSE AND DENSITY.
   This district is established to provide for an alternative style of residential development compatible with the City's predominant detached single family development type. Maximum overall development density will be 1.2 dwellings per acre. As with other planned residential development districts, regulations encourage concentrating housing development on those lands most suitable, while preserving less suitable areas (steep slopes, erosion prone areas, riparian zones, mature woodlands, etc) as open space within the development. These regulations also encourage that developers consider coordination of open spaces with those on adjacent properties so as to create open space corridors and wildlife habitat corridors. Development of areas in this district should be predicated upon the availability and extension of adequate public utilities and facilities so as to adequately serve the district's residents.
