The purpose of the RM-1 Multifamily Residential District is to provide for the development of multifamily housing in suitable areas. Such areas should be of adequate size to enable establishment of a substantial multiple-family environment. In general, the RM-1 District is intended for mapping on individual parcels of at least 15,000 square feet. Preferably, the RM-1 District should be mapped on parcels which alone or together with other contiguous multifamily parcels occupy an entire block face or larger area. The RM-1 District is also intended for mapping on individual parcels which are located in close proximity to amenities such as public park and open-space areas or established shopping areas which can conveniently serve the concentrations of residents which live in multiple-family areas. There is a limited area available for mapping the RM-1 District; therefore, the RM-1 District does not provide for the wide range of nonresidential conditional uses permitted in Single-Family Residential Districts.
