The intent of the Multiple-Family Residential District is to address the varied housing needs of
residents by providing locations for
of multiple-family housing at higher
than is permitted in single-family districts. In addressing these housing needs, multiple-family housing in the RM-1 District should be designed in consideration of the following objectives:
1. It is intended that
in this District be designed to preserve significant natural features and promote public health, safety, and welfare. Preservation of
, protection of flood prone areas, protection of
, woodlands, and groundwater recharge areas, and preservation of other natural features is encouraged, consistent with state law.
2. Multiple-family housing should be provided with necessary services and utilities, including public sanitary sewers and wastewater treatment, usable outdoor recreation space, and a well-designed internal
network.
3. Multiple-family housing should be designed to be compatible with surrounding or nearby single-family housing. Accordingly, multiple-family
generally should be located where it serves as a
between nonresidential and single-family uses.
4. Multiple-family
should have direct access to a collector or arterial
.
